A Hilliard woman has been sentenced to three years in prison for giving a friend a fatal dose of heroin. Prosecutors say 33-year-old Sara Sanderson gave 32-year-old Gregory Parker the heroin that resulted in his fatal overdose in Upper Arlington last year. Sanderson claimed she was trying to help Parker deal with withdrawal symptoms because he couldn’t get access to a treatment drug.
