John Harrison Lamb Jr., a 46-year-old man from Georgetown, has been convicted of delivering a controlled substance in connection with a fatal overdose. The conviction was handed down on October 10, 2022, and Lamb is facing sentencing on November 6, 2022.
The conviction stems from the death of Clinton Dunn, a 47-year-old man who was found deceased in his Cedar Park home on November 1, 2022. Dunn had failed to report to work that day, prompting authorities to investigate. Cedar Park police determined that Lamb had supplied Dunn with cocaine and marijuana multiple times in the two weeks preceding Dunn’s death.
Evidence indicated that Lamb delivered 7 grams of cocaine to Dunn just one day before he was found dead. Following a search of Dunn’s residence, investigators recovered nearly 7 grams of powder that subsequently tested positive for cocaine, fentanyl, and tramadol. An autopsy concluded that Dunn died from drug toxicity caused by a mixture of fentanyl, cocaine, tramadol, methamphetamine, and alprazolam. A forensic toxicologist estimated that Dunn likely consumed the fentanyl-laced cocaine within four to five hours prior to his death.
Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick remarked on the case, emphasizing that it serves as a sorrowful reminder of the devastating impact of illegal drugs. Lamb’s conviction is intended to hold him accountable for his role in distributing the substances that resulted in Dunn’s untimely death.
Clinton Dunn is remembered by his family, including his wife of 15 years and his son, who are left to mourn the tragic loss. This incident continues to raise concerns about the prevalence of dangerous drugs in the community, particularly following earlier warnings about counterfeit pills that contained potent synthetic drugs after a series of overdoses.
The case highlights the ongoing struggles with substance abuse and illegal drug distribution in the region, prompting law enforcement and community leaders to address the urgent need for intervention and education regarding the dangers of drug use.
