A Hardin County teenager was convicted for his part in a 2024 overdose death of a minor.
The Kentucky Attorney General’s Office says 18-year-old Aadyn Kristopher-Nelson Durbin pleaded guilty in Hardin Circuit Court this week to Second Degree Manslaughter, Trafficking in a Controlled Substance, and Trafficking in Marijuana. Durbin was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
The AG’s office says “Durbin admitted to knowingly selling fentanyl, which caused the victim’s death in December 2024. As part of the plea agreement, Durbin agreed not to have any contact with the victim’s family or attend any events at Elizabethtown Independent Schools.”
The Elizabethtown Police Department arrested Durbin along with two adult suspects (Damien Felker and Brandon Durbin, both of Elizabethtown) as part of their investigation into the death of a 17-year-old at an Elizabethtown residence on December 18, 2024. The EPD said at the time that the overdose death was likely related to tablets that were designed to look like a prescription narcotic but were actually laced with fentanyl.
The AG’s office says fentanyl was present in more than 60 percent of the 1,410 Kentucky overdose deaths that occurred in 2024.
