PITTSFIELD - A North Adams woman has been charged with manslaughter in the death of a local woman two years ago.
Dawn Cote, 42, of Liberty Street was arraigned Thursday in Berkshire Superior Court. She had not-guilty pleas entered on her behalf for single counts of manslaughter and of distribution of fentanyl.
Cote allegedly sold fentanyl, a potent painkiller, to 32-year-old Carlen Robinson of North Adams sometime in the three days before Robinson's death on Nov. 11, 2005. Robinson allegedly died from a fentanyl overdose, say prosecutors.
The investigation was conducted by members of the North Adams Police Department and state police detectives assigned to the district attorney's office.
Cote was released on personal recognizance by Judge Daniel Ford.
A Pittsfield man also was arraigned Thursday before Ford.
Lucas S. Marion, 18, of East New Lenox Road, had not-guilty pleas entered on his behalf on two counts of dissemination of visual material of a child in a state of sexual conduct and 23 counts of possesion of visual material of a child depicted in sexual conduct.
Ford released him on personal recognizance.
It is alleged that Marion possessed and distributed child pornography in Pittsfield between May 17, 2005, and July 26, 2007.
The investigation was conducted by state police detectives assigned to the district attorney's office.
