Man admits selling heroin, causing overdoses

by

For admittedly selling heroin that caused three overdoses in Wooster, a Cleveland man is likely to be sentenced to 17 years in a federal prison.

Demetrius L. Frizzell, 30, on Thursday pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute heroin and one count of attempted witness tampering, both felonies.

In March, Frizzell was indicted in U.S. District Court on six counts: two counts of distribution of heroin, one count of possession with intent to distribute heroin, one count of obstruction of justice and two counts of witness tampering.

He is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 29. The plea agreement included a jointly recommended sentence of 17 years in prison.

The charges stem from incidents occurring in late 2016.  [Read more…]

Ohio man pleads guilty to providing heroin that resulted in death

by

An Ohio man faces 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to providing a heroin mix that resulted in a woman’s fatal overdose.

Federal prosecutors say Richard Edwards, of Columbus, pleaded guilty in federal court Thursday to distributing heroin and fentanyl that resulted in the death or serious bodily injury of another.

The 28-year-old Edwards was accused of distributing heroin and fentanyl that led to a non-fatal overdose of a man in August 2016 and the Columbus woman’s fatal overdose in December 2016.

Edwards was investigated by a Franklin County Sheriff’s Office task force that pursues individuals responsible for drug overdoses and gets treatment help for victims who survive an overdose.

A message was left with Edwards’ federal public defender seeking comment.
