🚨 Two Arrested for Murder in Fentanyl Overdose in Denison 🚨

On Thursday, September 5, officers responded to a call in the Perrin Estates area where a woman was discovered unconscious. Despite efforts by Denison Fire personnel to revive her, she was pronounced dead at the scene by the Justice of the Peace.

The Dallas County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the deceased as 20-year-old Macie Joe Chastain, determining that her death was caused by multidrug toxicity, which included methamphetamine and fentanyl.

Investigative findings revealed that Andrew Michael Smith, 34, provided fentanyl-laced pills to Chastain prior to her death. Additionally, evidence indicated that Gregory Noah Honesty III, 27, sold these pills to Smith, who then supplied them to Chastain.

On Thursday, November 21, Denison PD, in collaboration with the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force, arrested Andrew Michael Smith on a murder warrant in the 700 block of East Gandy Street in Denison. He is currently held at the Grayson County Jail, with bail yet to be determined.

❗️ At the time of Chastain’s death, Gregory Noah Honesty was out on bond for a previous murder charge related to a fatal fentanyl overdose in Princeton, Texas. He is currently incarcerated in Collin County and has been charged with an additional murder count for his involvement in Chastain's death.

This marks the first instance of fentanyl-related murder arrests in Grayson County since the implementation of a new state law on September 1, 2023, which established a criminal offense for supplying fentanyl that leads to death.

The Denison Police Department remains committed to combating the fentanyl crisis, supporting victims and their families, and diligently working to safeguard the community from its harmful impacts.

The Garland Police Department is looking into a tragic event involving a self-inflicted gunshot death that took place during a traffic stop.

On November 18, around 11:00 p.m., a Garland Police Officer initiated a traffic stop in the 800 block of Bay Shore Drive due to observed traffic violations. The vehicle contained three individuals.
