Woman admits causing overdoses at Ravenna Eagles Club
A Ravenna Township woman has accepted a plea deal in connection with overdoses of a half-dozen people in June at the Ravenna Eagles Club.
Jamie A. Perry, 40, pleaded guilty Friday to two counts of second-degree felony corrupting another with drugs and three counts of fifth-degree felony trafficking in a fentanyl-related compound in Portage County Common Pleas Court.
Sentencing is pending completion of a presentencing investigation and report by the court's adult probation department.
Ravenna police said officers and EMS responded to the Eagles Club on Cleveland Road for a report of an unresponsive man about 9 p.m. June 8. The responders then discovered that four other men and a woman were also showing various degrees of medical distress.
All six were treated at the scene, some with Narcan, and were taken to University Hospitals Portage Medical Center. All responded to treatment.
At least some of the victims later identified Perry as the individual who sold them cocaine at the club, police said.
There was no indication that the Eagles Club itself or its employees were responsible for what happened. Police said the club freely cooperated with the investigation, including voluntarily providing police with security video.
A warrant was issued for Perry's arrest in mid-September following an investigation, which included sending DNA samples to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
In a plea deal, other charges in a grand jury indictment were dismissed, including four additional counts of corrupting another with drugs and an additional count of trafficking in a fentanyl-related compound.
