Penn Yan man charged with manslaughter in connection to fatal drug overdose
A Yates County man faces two felony charges, including manslaughter, in connection to a fatal drug overdose last year.
Schuyler County Sheriff's Office deputies Wednesday arrested Ted E. Miller, 65, of Penn Yan on a Superior Court warrant.
A Schuyler County Court indictment alleges that, in March 2022, Miller unlawfully sold a narcotic drug — authorities did not specify which — to Kimberly Owens, causing her death. Owens' age and town of residence were not released.
Miller was charged with second-degree manslaughter and third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance. He was arraigned Thursday in Schuyler County Court.

Officials said Miller's arrest was the result of a joint investigation by the sheriff's department and the Schuyler County District Attorney’s Office.
