Overview

• Purvis is accused of providing a fentanyl-xylazine combination known as “Tranq” that led to the February overdose death of John Mark Harris in Rome, Georgia.
• She was arrested on July 7 by DEA agents and local officers and is being held without bond at the Floyd County Jail as the federal investigation continues.
• The mixture involved combines fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, with xylazine, an animal sedative now linked to a surge in overdose fatalities.
• Purvis first gained public attention on MTV’s 16 and Pregnant in 2009 and later built a following as a social media influencer.
• Her legal troubles come weeks after the sudden June death of her 16-year-old son, Weston Gosa Jr., adding a personal dimension to the ongoing case.
