BROWN |
A woman who helped move a man’s body after a fatal drug overdose admitted her guilt this week in Logan County Common Pleas Court.
Morgan Brown, 27, of Bellefontaine, pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence, permitting drug abuse and abuse of a corpse in connection with the Nov. 30 death of 50-year-old Bellefontaine resident Eric Pooler.
Brown, Pooler and codefendants Dominique Woodum, 25, and Whitney Davis, 35, were allegedly using drugs in Brown’s city apartment when Pooler died of an overdose. They drove his vehicle and body outside the city and parked the vehicle along a lane on Township Road 219, where it was discovered Dec. 1, prosecutors report.
Woodum, who is being held in the Logan County Jail, has been charged with a first-degree felony charge of involuntary manslaughter for allegedly providing the drugs that caused Pooler’s death and is awaiting an Aug. 1 trial.
Davis, who is wanted on a warrant for her arrest, is facing a complicity to manslaughter charge as was Brown, prior to the plea agreement in which that charge was dismissed.
Brown will be sentenced Aug. 14 after completion of a presentence investigation.
