A Coventry Township woman faces charges for her alleged involvement in the drug overdose deaths of two men, three years apart. 

Summit County Sheriff's Department Inspector Bill Holland says Danielle Hoover, 29, was with Richard Davies at around the time of his death from a heroin overdose in September of 2009 at his Coventry Township home.  Roland Harmon was found dead at Steve's Motel in Green last month, also from too much Heroin.  Hoover was also there at around the time he died.   

"As our detectives looked into this, there were numerous similarities between these cases in the manner of death and the source of the narcotics," said Holland.

Hoover is charged with two counts each of involuntary manslaughter, corrupting another with drugs and a single count of tampering with evidence.  Holland won't disclose at this time what exactly deputies believe Hoover did to aid in the deaths of the two men.
