New Charge For Mom Accused Of Leaving Fentanyl Outside Delco School

The mother accused of leaving fentanyl outside of a Delaware County Elementary school in mid September waived her preliminary hearing and was also hit with an additional charge at her Tuesday, Sept. 26 court appearance.

Dollinda Williams, 29, of Philadelphia, now faces a charge of recklessly endangering another person, adding to the existing charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and endangering the welfare of children, according to court documents.

Williams' bail remained $25,000 unsecured, meaning shoe is not in custody.

However, Williams was hit with court-ordered restrictions related to the incident.

Judge Robert J. Radano ordered Williams to not enter school property, undergo drug and alcohol evaluations, and comply with recommendations from Delaware County Children and Youth Services.

Court records show Williams is slated to appear for her formal arraignment on Oct. 25.

The charges stem from a Sept. 7 incident where parents picking up their students from St. Bernadette of Lourdes Catholic elementary school found a bag on the ground. That bag held 29 smaller baggies containing fentanyl.

Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is particularity deadly, as even low doses of the drug can be exponentially more lethal than heroin.

Philly.com reports Williams was dropping off her kindergarten student when she dropped the drugs. Police told Philly.com she went back to look for the drugs and was confronted by school officials.

Police then located Williams and she admitted to dropping the drugs outside the school.

She turned herself into police Tuesday, Sept. 12.
