A Minot man is charged after police say he sold methadone that caused a woman's overdose death in February.
A Minot man, Casimir Black, has been charged with delivery of a controlled substance resulting in overdose death after police say he sold methadone to a woman who died in February. Officers were called to a Minot home and found the woman dead with two empty bottles of methadone.
Investigators examined the woman's phones and found messages between her and Black. In the conversation, she was seeking 'down', a slang term for heroin or fentanyl. Black allegedly told her he had methadone for sale. The two met in Minot, and according to court records, Black agreed to exchange the methadone for food and cigarettes. Black later admitted the transaction to investigators.
Methadone is a prescription medication used to treat opioid addiction and chronic pain. When administered, initial doses are typically given under supervision. A judge set Black's bond at $25,000, and he is due back in court in December.
