A Findlay man will spend seven years in prison for providing the drugs that led to a fatal overdose in Liberty Township last year. The Courier reports Judge Reginald Routson sentenced 28-year-old Nathan Brown on charges of involuntary manslaughter and corrupting another with drugs.
Brown sold heroin laced with fentanyl to 24-year-old Jarrod Barger in January of 2016. He faced up to 11 years in prison. He’ll also have to pay nearly $10,000 in restitution.
The case marked the first time a Hancock County jury convicted someone for involuntary manslaughter in a case involving a fatal overdose.
