The April 2 arraignment of Adam Michael Kelly for charges of controlled substances homicide in the wake of the March 27 death of Jarrod Bramson, led to Kelly being handed a total of 10 charges by the Jefferson County Prosecutor’s Office.

In addition to controlled substances homicide, Kelly has been charged with six counts of sale, delivery or possession with intent to sell or deliver a “legend drug” in a school zone and a second search warrant has turned up what police say is Kelly’s main drug lab.

A legend drug is one that’s been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, but can only be dispensed to the public with a prescription from a medical doctor or other licensed practitioner.

Kelly has also been charged with one count each of manufacture of a counterfeit controlled substance, possession of a punch die, possession of a controlled substance (heroin) and unlawful use of a building, all in a school zone.

The investigation arose from the death of Jarrod Bramson, 43, who Jefferson Health Care Center medical personnel found at the hospital unconscious in a vehicle March 27.

Bramson was pronounced dead of an apparent drug overdose, and investigations into his death led officers to Kelly’s 12th Street residence in Port Townsend, which in turn led to the discovery of hazardous materials, from which investigators drew the conclusion that the residence was being used as a drug lab.

On March 28, the Port Townsend Police Department applied for and was granted a search warrant for the residence, and Kelly, 38, was taken into custody for the initial charges of controlled substances homicide, possession with intent to manufacture or deliver a controlled substance, and unlawful use of a building for drug purposes.

Kelly was arraigned March 29 in Jefferson County Superior Court, the same day an anonymous informant told Jefferson County Sheriff’s Detective Derek Allen that Kelly’s main location of illicit and illegal operations was separate from his 12th Street residence.

A search warrant was executed on a property that Kelly was renting at 40 Seton Rd., where officers located multiple pieces of equipment for operating a lab, as well as a white powdery substance similar to that located in the lab at Kelly’s residence.

Port Townsend Police Detective Jon Stuart wrote in his probable cause statement that searches of those locations also yielded hundreds of multicolored pills and used needles, among other evidence.

“The lab operation being run in Kelly’s residence was extensive,” Stuart wrote. “There was information obtained leading officers to believe Kelly was operating internationally. Drug Enforcement Administration agents on scene advised Kelly had received, paid or transferred upwards of $26,000 in one day, two days prior to this investigation.”

Officers found Bramson’s eyeglasses, sweatshirt and cellphone at Kelly’s residence, where Kelly and a witness confirmed Bramson had visited. The witness also told officers that “Kelly told her, ‘I gave him (presumably Bramson) the shot that killed him.’”

While Kelly denied providing Bramson with any drugs other than Narcan, one shot in each leg, in an attempt to revive him, the witness claimed Kelly had refused her request to call 911 after he’d injected Bramson with the Narcan.

On March 28, Dr. Emmanuel Lacsina conducted an autopsy of Bramson at the Kosec Funeral Home in Port Townsend. Lacsina identified bruising on Bramson’s arms consistent with the “track marks” commonly found on intravenous drug users. Lacsina also told Jefferson County Sheriff’s Detective Shane Stevenson that both of Bramson’s lungs contained pulmonary edema fluid, which he stated was indicative of an opioid overdose.

During Kelly’s April 2 arraignment, Jefferson Associated Counsel was appointed as his lawyer, and bail remained as set, $500,000 cash or bond.

Kelly’s next arraignment is set for 8:30 a.m. April 12.
