Woman indicted in overdose death of Columbus man

A Franklin County grand jury has indicted a Westerville woman in connection with the heroin-overdose death of a Columbus man. 25-year-old Emily Thacker allegedly injected the drug into the system of 37-year-old Russell Ronske, leading to his death. Westerville police say it happened at the home of a friend last March.
