CLACKAMAS COUNTY, Ore. — On Tuesday, a Clackamas County grand jury indicted a man accused of selling fentanyl to another man believed to have overdosed and died in 2022, according to the Clackamas County District Attorney's Office.

Colby Jungwirth, 30, was charged with second-degree manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. He allegedly sold fentanyl to 26-year-old Christian Robertson.

Family members found Robertson dead in June 2022. Deputies with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office responded to Robertson's home, and in his bedroom, "found evidence that indicated he overdosed on drugs" the Clackamas County District Attorney's Office said in a news release.

Clackamas County Task Force investigators connected a drug sale between Robertson and Jungwirth.

Police arrested Jungwirth on May 20. He was taken to the Clackamas County Jail where he is being held on $250,000 bail.
