A Columbus woman has been indicted in the death of a 12-year-old boy who prosecutors say died from a fentanyl overdose during a sleepover at her apartment. Prosecutors say Kanye Champelle got the drug from atop a refrigerator and ingested it while 60-year-old baby sitter Sheila Hutchins was running errands last July.
