Joshua Robert Pulley Credit: The Lee County Sheriff’s Office A man has been convicted of first-degree murder of unlawful distribution of fentanyl and sale or delivery of fentanyl for the overdose death of a Lee County woman. The jury returned a guilty verdict Friday afternoon. This is the first time a defendant has gone to trial on these charges in Lee County. The Lee County Grand Jury indicted 32-year-old Joshua Robert Pulley in July 2023. According to the state attorney’s office, in December 2022, Pulley provided drugs to the victim after meeting her in the parking lot of a restaurant in Fort Myers. Evidence at trial showed Pulley was also texting the victim about the meet-up. The victim returned home and was found in her bedroom, unresponsive, later that night. Her roommate called emergency responders, but she could not be revived. The Medical Examiner determined the victim died from a Fentanyl overdose. The Fort Myers Police Department investigated the case. Sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 16.
