JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – A 42-year-old inmate at the Jefferson City Correctional Center has pleaded guilty in the drug overdose death of another inmate.
The Jefferson City News-Tribune reports that Kartez Hardin accepted a plea deal Wednesday and was sentenced to 15 years for distribution of heroin.
Cole County prosecutors say Hardin sold heroin to 38-year-old Gregory Medley, who died of a heroin overdose at the prison in November 2015.
