Armand Navarro, 30, of Lorton, is charged with involuntary manslaughter and distribution of a schedule I/II controlled substance.
Navarro is being held on unrelated charges in the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center.
At 10:06 p.m. on June 29, 2022, police were dispatched to the 700 block of South Courthouse Road for the report of a medical emergency. Upon arrival, officers located an unnamed adult male inside a residence suffering from an apparent fentanyl overdose.
