4-27-15 milwaukee man convicted in heroin overdose death of fdl woman

A Milwaukee man has been found guilty in the heroin overdose death of  a Fond du Lac woman.  A Fond du Lac County jury returned the guilty verdict Friday afternoon against Roy Whitelow.  Whitelow was convicted of first degree reckless homicide in the death of Heather Fugate.  Fond du Lac County District attorney, Eric Toney  says convicting someone under the Len Bias law can be difficult, especially when the victim is a willing participant.  “Our community has been experiencing a problem with heroin and opiods for some time now and its a mixed feeling because Heather is never goingto come back and her family is never going to get to see her again,”  Toney told WFDL news.  Investigators say Whitelow supplied the heroin that led to Fugate’s death.
