Overview

• Purvis was granted bond at a July 17 hearing but remains in custody at Floyd County Correctional Institution pending posting of bail.
• The bond’s conditions mandate court-ordered treatment, monthly drug tests, a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew, and prohibitions on substance use and contact with the victim’s family.
• She is charged with felony involuntary manslaughter for allegedly supplying a fentanyl and xylazine mixture known as “Tranq” to her friend John M. Harris, whose February death sparked the prosecution.
• The DEA’s Atlanta field division is working with local law enforcement on the ongoing investigation into the distribution of the fatal drug mixture.
• The July hearing follows Purvis’s recent personal tragedies, including the June death of her 16-year-old son and her placement on suicide watch in early July detention.
