Kiss of Death: Tennessee woman is charged with MURDER after ‘slipping inmate half an ounce of meth during prison visit kiss’ – only for him to then die of an overdose
- Rachel Dollard, 33, passed half ounce of meth to prison inmate Joshua Brown

- Brown died a short while later at a local hospital from a massive overdose
- Dollard is facing charges of second-degree murder and smuggling drugs
A woman has been charged with murder following a fatal kiss while visiting a man in jail who died a short while later.
Rachel Dollard, 33, was visiting inmate Joshua Brown, who was serving an 11-year sentence on drug-related charges, at the Turney Center Industrial Complex prison in Only, Tennessee in February.
During the visitation the pair were seen kissing, which was how Dollard passed Brown a balloon pellet containing half an ounce of methamphetamine, according to the Tennessee Department of Correction. Brown then swallowed the pellet.
He died a short while later at a local hospital, the bag having thought to have opened in his stomach and flooded his system with a massive and fatal dose of meth. His sentence was due to expire in 2029.
Rachal Dollard was taken into custody this weekend by TDOC special agents and the Dickson County Sheriff’s Department on a warrant from a sealed indictment in Hickman County.
She has been charged with second-degree murder over the death of Brown and introduction of contraband into a penal facility.
