Benjamin Nathan Williams, whose pharmacy license was revoked in 2021, is accused of selling cocaine laced with fentanyl and not informing his buyer, who later died.
SAN JOSE — A one-time pharmacy worker whose state credential was revoked after he stole narcotics from his employer is facing a murder charge for allegedly selling cocaine secretly laced with fentanyl to a South Bay woman who died from an overdose last year.
Benjamin Nathan Williams, whose pharmacy license was revoked in 2021, is accused of selling cocaine laced with fentanyl and not informing the buyer, who later died. Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said that shows that Warrick realized she was in trouble; she died a few hours later. He added that given the potency of fentanyl — which can kill people who use it for the first or second time — the criminal liability of such cases is elevated.
On the afternoon of Feb. 13, 2023, Warrick’s mother, who noticed she had not been responding to text messages, checked her studio apartment, on the same property as the family home, and found her foaming at the mouth, according to the investigation. Warrick died where she lay. Detectives established a clearer link between Williams and Warrick after Williams was arrested in November 2023 in Morgan Hill on suspicion of robbery and evading police. The phone he was carrying was seized and examined; it reportedly contained the correspondence between him and the victim on the night she died, according to the investigation.
