Suspect In Local Drug Overdoses Indicted

Columbus Division of Police

A Columbus man has been indicted on a murder and other charges after police say he sold the large animal tranquilizer Carfentanil as heroin, leading to a rash local overdoses earlier this month. 36-year-old Rayshon Alexander is charged in the overdose death of 34-year-old Sean Kuehner. He's also charged in connection with the overdoses of nine other people in Columbus.  Police are hoping to link the other cases to Alexander, who is scheduled to appear in court this afternoon.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
