Drugs Denison Texas in Denison, Texas: Andrew Michael Smith, 36, of Denison, Texas, was sentenced to life in federal prison for supplying fentanyl-laced pills that caused the overdose death of 20-year-old Macie Joe Chastain. Prosecutors said Smith filmed Chastain for several hours as she was actively dying from the overdose and only called emergency responders after she took her final breath. Chastain was found unconscious at a home in the Perrin Estates neighborhood of Denison on November 5, 2024, and was pronounced dead at the scene; the Dallas County Medical Examiner's Office ruled her cause of death as multidrug toxicity from methamphetamine and fentanyl. The case marked Grayson County's first fentanyl murder arrest under a Texas law that took effect in late 2023.
