(CBS-DETROIT) – A Macomb County man is charged in connection with drug sales resulting in death and possession of child pornography.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office says the 36-year-old man has been charged with delivery of a controlled substance causing death, delivery of fentanyl less than 50 grams, delivery of a controlled substance less than 50 grams and three counts charges of child sexual abuse material.
On November 17, 2023, a 30-year-old woman overdosed near Romeo Plank Road and Clinton River Road in Clinton Township. The Public Prosecution Service says a police investigation has shown that the man sold the woman the drugs that led to her death.
An arrest warrant was issued for the man on Tuesday. While executing the warrant, police discovered the man had cocaine and discovered sexual abuse material on his phone, the prosecutor’s office said.
“The defendant’s alleged actions reflect a deeply disturbing disregard for both human life and the well-being of our most vulnerable,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said in a news release Friday.
A probable cause hearing in connection with the fatal drug case is scheduled for Tuesday, November 12. A hearing is scheduled for the next day for aggravated possession of child sexual abuse material.
