Minneapolis Man Sentenced For Fatal Fentanyl Overdose In Glenwood

ST. PAUL (WJON News) -- A Minneapolis man was sentenced to more than 11 years in prison for the fatal drug overdose of a Glenwood man.

A Pope County judge has sentenced 38-year-old Theoplus Richmond to 11 years and three months in prison for the death of Tyler Kirchof. Richmond pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in October.
