A Greencastle woman has found herself behind bars at the Vigo County Jail on charges related to the overdose death of a Terre Haute woman in February.
According to court records, Kristin R. Carrington, 24, Greencastle, was arrested and booked on 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.
She is still listed as an inmate at the Vigo County Jail and is held on a $500,000 cash bond and has a court date slated for Oct. 19.
In addition, she was also arrested with Aaron R. Gates, 25, of Paris, Illinois, who also faces all the same charges.
The charges are the result of an FBI Indianapolis Metropolitan Safe Streets Gang Task Force investigation following the death of Shauna Patterson in an Indianapolis apartment in February. According to court documents, police were able to follow up on communications among Patterson, Carrington and Gates, which provided police evidence that the two suspects sold drugs to Patterson, including cocaine and Xanax.
