BELLE CHASSE, La. — The man who allegedly sold a fatal dose of fentanyl to a Belle Chasse High School senior has been arrested for murder.
According to the Plaquemines Parish Sheriff’s Office, 22-year-old Franklin Senfles was arrested for one count of second-degree murder in the death of Hailey Deickman and one count of attempted second-degree murder for another victim.
