A Barnesville man found not guilty Tuesday of providing illegal drugs that killed another person was charged again June 6 on unrelated drug offenses.
According to the Republican Herald, the latest charges against 23 year old Kyle J. Merenda were filed by state police Trooper Scott Grochowski of Troop L, Reading, and Detective Troy Greenawald of the Schuylkill County District Attorney’s Office after an incident on Dec. 18, 2017, in Ryan Township.
Investigators said a confidential informant reported that Merenda was involved in the trafficking of heroin and fentanyl in Schuylkill County, prompting the investigation.
Merenda was arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Christina E. Hale, Frackville, who set bail at $25,000 straight cash and scheduled a preliminary hearing for June 20.
