Tracy Lynn Sheldon-Malamphy
Cleveland, Tennessee, police arrested a woman after finding a man in his home who died of a drug overdose.
On August 24, Joseph Thomas, 37, was found dead in his Cleveland apartment. Detective Matt Landolt led the investigation for the Cleveland Police Department and found that Thomas had died of a fentanyl overdose.
Thomas’ mother found him after she told officers that an incident report said she hadn’t spoken to him in about a week. The two had arranged to meet for lunch that week, but when she picked him up, Thomas’s car wasn’t there.
The day he was found, Thomas’ mother came back to the apartment and the door was unlocked. She found him with “his feet hanging over the tub in the bathroom”. Thomas’ mother told officers her son had previously dealt with drug addiction in New Hampshire but had been clean for some time while he worked and kept a job.
Seven months later, Tracy Lynn Sheldon-Malamphy was arrested on May 24th on a Bradley County Grand Jury indictment.
Sheldon-Malamphy is charged with second degree murder, the sale and supply of fentanyl, and the conspiracy to sell and supply fentanyl.
She is being held on a $ 100,000 bond.
