Heroin dealer Stephen Ron Martin II gets 20 years in Federal prison for overdose of Brad Nichols

Police also found evidence of recent heroin use in plain view inside Nichols’ apartment. A depressed syringe was found on top of a desk within an arm’s length of Nichols’ body. A needle mark was on Nichols’ arm. An open plastic bag containing an off-white powder was found on the kitchen counter. The substance was later tested and found to contain heroin. An autopsy confirmed that Nichols had injected heroin and subsequently died as a result of acute heroin intoxication.
