GEORGETOWN, Ohio – —A Brown County grand jury has indicted three individuals in connection with three separate deaths caused by drug overdoses.

Tucker is charged with involuntary manslaughter, corrupting another with drugs and trafficking in heroin. Tucker’s charges stem from the heroin overdose death of Danny Smith on June 17, 2015, Little's office said. If convicted of all charges, Tucker faces 20 years in prison. Tucker is currently incarcerated in the Brown County Adult Detention Center in lieu of on a $250,000 bond.

Brockman is charged with involuntary manslaughter, corrupting another with drugs, two counts of trafficking in drugs and three counts of possession of drugs. Brockman’s charges stem from the fentanyl overdose death of Dennis Cook on May 25, 2015, LIttle's office said. If convicted of all charges, Brockman faces more than 24 years in prison.

Brockman is being held at the Brown County Adult Detention Center on a $350,000 bond.

Keith is charged with involuntary manslaughter, corrupting another with drugs, trafficking in heroin, trafficking in drugs and illegal assembly for the manufacture of methamphetamine. Keith’s charges stem from heroin overdose of death of Terry Day on April 11, 2015. Keith, if convicted of all charges, faces 24 years in prison. Keith is being held at the Brown County Adult Detention Center on a $350,000 bond.

"These cases should send a message to those that choose to sell drugs in Brown County that they will be held accountable if the drugs they sell cause a deadly overdose, ” Brown County First Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Zac Corbin said in a news release.

Corbin added that Brown County continues to lead the state of Ohio in accidental drug overdose deaths per capita. “We are taking the heroin epidemic very seriously, and we are not going to allow those that deal drugs and cause overdose deaths to go unpunished,” Corbin said.

Heroin is a huge problem in Colorado, after marijuana was legalized here the cartels lost that market, marijuana is their main cash source, not because it's highly addictive, but because so many people use it, so as a result of the weed market loss they stepped up heroin sells like never before... and not just in Colorado, but in marijuana legal states more than states where marijuana is still a black market.

Plus when the Taliban and AL Qaeda lost control of the middle east the opium poppy fields sprang back up, it was those groups that were destroying the Papaver somniferum crops, when the United states removes these groups from a location, that location then resumes opium poppy production...so our war on terror increased raw opium production, which is often sent elsewhere where the morphine is extracted and converted to diacetylmorphine (heroin)

The other issue is the majority if heroin gets fentanyl and ultra-potent fentanyl analogues added to it, 3-methylfentanyl is between 400 and 6000 times stronger than morphine, some fentanyl.compounds are active in micrograms doses, and thus are an efficient (but dangerous) way to increase heroin potency. then  there's α-Methylfentanyl (China white), that in 1979 two heroin users were found dead, but tested negative for known  opiods, over the next year there were 13 more deaths and "China white" was identified as alpha-methylfentanyl and scheduled, however a long list of potent fentanyl analogues had already been produced, and in reaction the federal analogue act was formed...anyway these fentanyl compounds are in most street heroin, and are responsible for a good deal of overdoses.

Yep.  Akron especially.  Also heroin is everywhere all over the US and Canada, it's not an isolated thing.  Insane amounts of money to be made.

I feel like if you're using heroin or any other hard drug, you should expect a death sentence eventually. I'm not saying that these people shouldn't get charged but I mean come on, they were junkies..

Only one of the people charged here is actually a dealer if that affects your opinion at all.

For anyone interested I'll give you all a little background on what lead to these folks being arrested (in order of their appearance in the article)..

In the first overdose death, Kevin Tucker (the young kid with the long hair) and another woman who wasn't mentioned in the article (because she has already been indicted) traveled from Georgetown, Ohio in Brown County to Cincinnati to get some heroin.

According to both parties, Kevin Tucker drove and the older woman was in the passenger seat. They were both going in on a small quantity of heroin together to save money. Tucker claims that the woman bought the heroin from an unknown black male while he waited in the car. The woman claims Kevin is the one who purchased the heroin from the unknown black male while she waited in the car.

When they got back to Brown County they did some heroin together and a man named Danny Smith was in the apartment with them. Neither Tucker or the unknown woman admitted to giving the man heroin and both claimed to investigators they don't know how he got it. The older woman admitted she did see Smith shoot some heroin while Tucker claimed he never saw the man with heroin.

Eventually, Smith started going unconscious. Tucker and the woman threw him in the shower and applied ice to the man's rectum in an attempt to revive him. He did come back to consciousness several times but would quickly drift back out. After this went on for approximately twenty minutes they called 911, but Smith ended up dying.

--
In the second overdose death, Brown County Sheriff and EMS were dispatched to a residence on a report of a man not breathing and possibly deceased inside a bathroom (I live just under a mile away and actually heard this one on the scanner). The wife couldn't get into the bathroom because the man, Danny Cook, was blocking the doorway. When they entered the bathroom they found the man dead on the floor with a syringe laying next to him.

The wIFE told told police Cook had struggled to get off heroin and she thought he'd quit using. (And I am familiar with the family, they have a piece of property with several trailers, and Danny Cook's death marks the fifth overdose death from that family on the property, and his is the second this year. Three people have died inside one camper on the property from drug overdose deaths in the last five years or less) She told police before she left work work in the evening, Cook told her he would be at suspect Josh Brockman's apartment in Mount Orab.

A search warrant was conducted on Brockman's apartment 12 days later. He was attempting to hide drugs and paraphernalia when police swooped in and detained him. Children's services took his two children and Brockman was transported to MOPD. A white powder substance as well as a grey crystalline substance were found inside several packages, in addition to several white pills and cell phones.

Brockman admitted in an interview that Cook was at his residence the day before attempting to trade methadone for heroin, but they couldn't reach a deal because Brockman thought Cook was overvaluing the pills. Instead of trading for pills, Brockman ended up selling Cook heroin for $40 USD. Brockman learned of Cook's death two days after selling him heroin and admitted he erased text messages from Cook,.

Lab tests on the drugs found in Cook's system indicated he had actually died from fentanyl rather than heroin.

--

In the third overdose death, suspect Brandy Keith and deceased Terry Day traveled from their community just outside Mt. Orab in Brown County to Cincinnati to get heroin. Day lived down the road from Keith and would often buy heroin together off someone Keith knew.

On the way back to Brown County, Keith and Day decided to snort some heroin while waiting at a redlight 20 minutes away in Clermont County. Day immediately went unconscious. Keith drove Day back to his house and told his mom he was passed out in her car. The mother helped Keith get him out of her vehicle and then she immediately left. Day's mother called 911 and reported the woman to police. Day's mother initially didn't know who the woman was, but eventually was able to identify her after recognizing her car parked in her driveway.  A postmortem examination of Terry Day revealed he had died from ethanol and heroin intoxication.

A raid was conducted on Brandy Keith's residence and police took a cellphone from her which revealed texts between her and Day about going to Cincinnati to buy $50 worth of heroin. Through her texts they also learned she had filled presciptions for 84 Buprenorphine. Additionally, several unidentified pills, drug paraphernalia and chemicals to manufacture methamphetamine were found. Police towed the vehicle which belonged to her husband, Charles Keith.

When confronted about this, Keith admitted she sold Day subutex once before. She also admitted she had taken Day to Cincinnati to purchase heroin from an unknown black male about six times, as well as taking several other people she knew.

That's quite a drive to be making all the time to get less than a gram of heroin.

You can't drive through certain parts of downtown without being offered heroin these days.

I made the mistake of driving a friend home in OTR at about 2 am and got accosted at literally every stop sign by groups of dudes.

'What you need man?"

I'd blow by the stop sign, "You posed to stop at the stop sign man!"

If the dealer sells fentanyl as heroin and the user goes for a normal H dose and dies is it the same principal?

Obviously not a good idea to be doing it at all but still.....

The dude selling it doesn't give a fuck. He just wants easy money.

You could say that about any product which can be fatal when misused or result in an accident knives, cars, motorcycles, cars, alcohol ect ect.  The person made the choice to take the drug themselves why would anyone else except the user be responsible?  Drug dealing is a business just like any other, it just happens to have inflated values because it's illegal resulting in a highly competitive and unregulated market place.

I was going to post this kind of response, until I read the H contained fentanyl.

Just another argument for the legalization of all drugs for consenting adults.

We need proper regulation, this shit ain't ever going away. It's just getting worse. I can't wait to see the plethora of killer RC's we have on the market in another ten years. Fent analogues, dissociative analogues, analogues of fuckin everythin'

It's only a matter of time before the data and the outrage make the status quo impossible.  The bible clutching evangelicals which make up 80 million people in the US are slowly having their "family values" eroded from the political process.  Drug attitudes are in the process of slowly changing.

Most counties in Ohio along the river east of Hamilton County have a drug overdose rate considered very high for the US. Brown County currently leads the state.

Summit County, where Akron is located, isn't actually very high on the list for drug overdose deaths, but it leads the state in meth lab seizures by a pretty wide margin. Highland County, whic is directly north/northeast and east of Brown County, is currently #2 for number of annual meth lab seizures in Ohio if I recall correctly.

Southeast Ohio, primarily Meigs and surrounding counties, lead the state in number of cannabis plants eradicated annually by a wide margin. Typically in the average rural county, in 2 days a BCI-operated helicopter will eradicate a whopping 100 to 200 cannabis plants. (Brown County typically is in the 170 range). The southern Ohio states from Scioto eastward usually yield the BCI helicopter between 800 and 1,600 plants in 2 days of fly overs.

The only real difference in the trends since 2000 to now is that meth was more prominent than heroin in the early 2000s, then by 2006 meth lab seizures died down significantly in the southern counties and were replaced by prescription drugs until about 2012. Meth came back to prominence around the end of 2011. By 2013, prescription pills were almost completely replaced with heroin.

I was born and raised in NE Ohio.  My graduating class was about 500 kids.  It seems like once a month, there's another overdose death.  When I see a news article about another person in Cleveland found dead of a heroin overdose, I immediately go check the class roster.  It's fucking ridiculous how many people have died of this shit in the past two years.  We've lost about 30-40 classmates already.

It didn't say, but the reason there's been a lot of heroin deaths lately is because piece of shit people like these cut it down with dangerous stuff, which is why it becomes lethal. They are responsible.

So, should pharmaceutical companies be charged if someone dies on acetaminophen or opioids? No, it is up to the user. If a opiate addict OD's and dies on cut heroin, it is their fault. It is the users responsibility to test each new batch, this is made especially clear on Shroomery, such as no dosage advice and starting first with allergy tests.

Wow the logic here is missing partner. If you took a substance sold as acetaminophen but it was really poison and you died, how would that be your fault? It's as simple as that. In your mind a junkie should be testing every bag because CONSUMER BEWARE? Get real

I believe in personal responsibility, you understand the potential risks before you take the compound, you understand its black market and may not be clean, and you understand overdose is a risk as well, knowing all this if you still consume the product the blame rests on you.

You can't blame the drugs as most often happens.

In some cases the dealers may be some what responsible, but if we are going to play this blame game instead of putting the responsibility on ourselves, we will get no where.

If I take a drug and I die, I personally would only blame myself, even if it's got something funny in it, because I am not stupid and know that most heroin is stomped with fentanyl or some other potentially harmful compounds...

It's sucks if the addict is sick, in horrible pain, and shoots without considering any of this just to end the pain, but at the same time there's methadone, they could have been getting well off of a clean legal alternative, all in all it comes down to their personal choices, and who should be responsible for your personal choices? Yourself.

If the dealer sells fentanyl as heroin and the user goes for a normal H dose and dies is it the same principal?

Obviously not a good idea to be doing it at all but still.....

The dude selling it doesn't give a fuck. He just wants easy money.






It's a good point.

It makes it more tragic for the user, for sure.


Morally, ethically speaking on the part of the seller? Well, I think the obvious big question here is:


"Did he know what he was selling? Was he the one who personally spiked dope with heroin, or cut fentanyl as faux smack? If not, did he have direct knowledge of this from the person he purchased it from? Or, was he as unaware as his customers, of the substance's true identity?"



Lots of people act as middleman dealers, and do nothing to the drugs they selling, but move them from point A to point B. And very few of these people probably do any kind of serious testing on their material. Should they be liable to? I'm not sure that's the kind of thing many dealers would realize they could do at home. Actually... how easy would it be to detect fentanyl vs heroin with simple reagent testing?


Anyway, if this guy just bought what he thought was heroin, and sold it to someone else, he's not quite the monster as the guy who actually prepared the stuff. And I'd say that's especially true if the guy was a user himself, which would make him as much a potential victim as anyone else.

"These cases should send a message to those that choose to sell drugs in Brown County that they will be held accountable if the drugs they sell cause a deadly overdose, ” Brown County First Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Zac Corbin said in a news release.


So is he saying that as long as your shit doesn't kill, they don't care what you do? Cops always say the dumbest shit when trying to protect the public. They are just like politicians, running their mouths, making promises and never following through.

No, that's not even almost what he's saying.

He is saying that if you sell shit that kills people, you will be facing many more years of prison assrape, than if you sell shit and people don't die. "They will be held accountable" meaning accountable for the deaths.


I thought that was pretty clear and straightforward.


You are right about cops running their mouths with stupid shit, though, generally speaking.

Actually, the dealer kinda does give a fuck.  Dead customers are no good to him.  Easy money is to get good shit and keep people hooked.  Heroin addicts pawn all their shit for the stuff.

I read somewhere that the grade of the heroin going around up there is purer, so people need to use less than they're used to, but they don't get that because "fuck you all I got heroin".

It blows my mind that so many of my friends and classmates are dead from this.  WTF happened to our class that so many turned into heroin addicts?

"It blows my mind that so many of my friends and classmates are dead from this.  WTF happened to our class that so many turned into heroin addicts?"




This is the question I have.  My father is a heroin user, as are both of his sons.  Many other members of the family use or sell drugs.  None that I know of have died to heroin overdose deaths.

I don't really see lots of heroin overdose stories in the news about black folks, or hear people really remark all that often about black folks dying to heroin overdoses, though I'm absolutely sure it happens and happens often.

I just had a friend and roommate die this year of a heroin overdose.  We are in Pennsylvania but he was from Ohio.

What is up with so many young(ish) white kids from Ohio dying to heroin?  What causes them to become interested in and ultimately encourages them to use heroin in way and under circumstances that leads to a pattern of deaths?

Anyone have any insight on this?  Do black folks grow up in environments with seasoned addicts who instruct them and ultimately keep many from dying while white teens go it alone and learn first hand most part?  What could it be?

Brown County, Ohio is 98% white, so that's probably why you won't see too many black guys dying from heroin here. I do happen to know the 3 dead people in this story are white even though the article doesn't say.

On the other hand, the biggest heroin busts in Brown County have been black men and women from Cincinnati in their 20s. Mason County, Kentucky (directly south of Brown County) recently took down a group of about 13 (possibly more) black/multiracial black men and women distributing kilos throughout northern Kentucky over a several year span of time.

So, I have to say African Americans are at least significant in the movement of heroin from urban to rural areas if they aren't doing it themselves.

Is it powder or tar down there?
