Ashford Man Charged with Manslaughter in Fentanyl Overdose

(DOTHAN, Ala.) On November 15, 2025, just after 7:00 am, the Dothan Police Department responded to a residence in the 200 block of South Idlewild Path for a person down possibly having a medical episode.  Officers and Dothan Fire paramedics found the victim, Jordan Marie Robinson (28) of Dothan, unresponsive.  First responders immediately began life-saving treatment, but Robinson was pronounced dead on scene.

While inside the residence, officers were able to observe drug paraphernalia and residue in plain view in the residence.  This led investigators to obtain a search warrant for the residence.  Investigators seized various types of drugs that included methamphetamine, cocaine, marijuana, psilocybin, and fentanyl along with different items of drug paraphernalia.  Investigators were able to link the drugs to the suspect in this case.  The suspect, Jenne Clifton Adams (41) of Ashford, was charged that day with Drug Trafficking, three counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana 2nd degree, and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.  An autopsy on Robinson was ordered and received by investigators on March 3, 2026.

After a forensic autopsy was completed, the proximate cause of death was listed as fentanyl overdose.  Investigators, through digital forensic analysis of phones and computers, were able to establish probable cause that Adams supplied the fentanyl to Robinson that caused her death.

Adams was charged additionally with one count of Manslaughter-Fentanyl and booked into the Houston County Jail.  Fentanyl is a dangerous drug that has affected many lives in the Wiregrass region.  Anyone possessing, supplying, or using this dangerous substance in our community can expect to be held accountable according to Alabama law.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Jordan Robinson as they grieve during this unimaginable time.
