TERRE HAUTE — A Greencastle woman was one of two people booked in the Vigo County Jail recently in connection with a Terre Haute woman’s overdose death in February in Indianapolis.

Kristin R. Carrington, 24, Greencastle, as well as Aaron R. Gates, 25, Paris, Ill., were both booked in the Vigo County Jail on Saturday.

According to the Tribune-Star, each faces charges of dealing in a controlled substance resulting in death, conspiracy to deal in a controlled substance, possession of narcotic drug, conspiracy to possess a narcotic drug, conspiracy to deal a Schedule IV controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and conspiracy to possess a controlled substance.

When Shauna Patterson died in an Indianapolis apartment in February, the FBI Indianapolis Metropolitan Safe Streets Gang Task Force began investigating.

Court documents note that police traced communications between Patterson, Carrington and Gates that provided evidence that Patterson was sold cocaine and Xanax.

Carrington and Gates were living in Terre Haute at the time.

  • More drug deaths. The numbers are staggering for the US. 100,000 dead this year and counting.

    The Mexican cartels are flooding this poison across the southern boarder along with their indentured slaves they are delivering into our country.

    I have to question the sanity of the democrats intent on opening the southern boarder so completely to the criminal cartels. (It’s not all families with children as the media would have you to believe)

    Who does this really help?

  • Fun fact, if you don’t consume drugs you cannot die from them. It’s a pretty simple solution.

  • I am thankful the FBI was diligent in arresting these pushers but I do have to wonder if they pursue every OD? In 2021 there were somewhere around 2500 Overdoses in Indiana along and it seems we hear of the OD but never of arrest. I personally have know several young people who died from OD and that was the end of it, no police follow through.

  • Fentanyl that comes in candy colored tabs.

    Who is that targeting?

    A lot of deception in doing drugs.

    Legalized weed in the neighboring states might be laced with deadly drugs.

    Stopping the major source would be a legal issue in our local community.

    Seems the democrats policy on stopping a foreign source is not an issue.

    Defund the police, legalized all drugs (Oregon,Washington others)

    Yeah, that protects the citizens.

  • What a worthless piece of trash. She deserves to be locked away for the rest of her life, along with the bum that was involved.

  • This has been a problem for many years Someone always has to put the blame on the democrats. We had a drug problem when Trump was in office too.

  • No political party is to blame. It is the drug cartels who are preying on young people and using the media to sell drugs. Fentanyl is the real problem and it is running rampant.

  • You that believe that this is not political are blind.

    This is not accidental, there is so much power and money involved here for distribution and it is affecting the breadth of the entire US.

    Yes, it is right here and having very bad consequences for families. Which is the plan.

    The Dems are completely radicalized now. This isn’t your dad’s and certainly not your grandpas party anymore. Once upon a short time I was one too!

    Wake UP! We working class people are the targets of all of this chaos!

    Anyone who believes that the global opioid epidemic is facilitated by an American political party is smoking something that's way-stronger than weed.

  • Well it looks like QAnon must be back on 4chan. It’s the only explanation I can think of.

  • I am sorry to have to inform you of this, but repeatedly mentioning a conspiracy theory does not give it any more legitimacy.
