According to the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO), Chad Long, 46, of Woodland Avenue in Florosa, was being held in a Seneca County, Ohio, jail on an OCSO warrant for manslaughter/negligent homicide.

The warrant is related to an OCSO investigation that began when deputies were called to a Reynolds Circle home on August 26, 2021, for a medical emergency, the OCSO said.

According to the OCSO, its deputies found a 42-year-old woman deceased in an apartment shed in the backyard.

Investigators said they learned the victim and another man had allegedly gone earlier to Long’s nearby home on Woodland Avenue to buy what they believed to be heroin, then went back to the shed to snort it, the OCSO said.

The man reportedly woke to find the female was not breathing. The medical examiner’s office determined she died from the toxic effects of narcotics, including fentanyl, the OCSO said.

Investigators said they found evidence that established narcotics transactions between Long and the victim. They said Long’s alleged unlawful distribution of controlled substances, namely fentanyl, resulted in her death.
