BELOIT, Wis. (AP) - The last defendant has been sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison in the heroin overdose death of a Wisconsin teenager last year.
Nineteen-year-old Christopher Dorris of Roscoe, Ill., also was sentenced to 3 1/2 years extended supervision for delivering or manufacturing heroin.
Dorris pleaded guilty in Rock County Circuit Court on Sept. 3 to the felony charge stemming from the death of 18-year-old Ryan Kennington of Beloit. Kennington died of a heroin overdose at his home on Nov. 27, 2008.
Court records say Dorris and three other teens supplied Kennington with the drug. Dorris told police he traded a bag of heroin to Kennington in exchange for a Starbucks gift card.
