Overdose deaths case postponed

By Temi Fadayomi 2 min read

ALPENA -- An Ossineke man facing charges of supplying drugs to two individuals who died of drug overdoses has had his upcoming court appearance adjourned to a later date.

According to district court officials, 27-year-old Gavin Krueger was scheduled to appear in 88th District Court today but had his next court appearance adjourned to a future date that has yet to be determined.

Krueger's attorney, Devin Pommerenke, and Alpena County Prosecutor Cynthia Muszynski could not be reached for comment.

Krueger is currently facing two counts of delivery of controlled substances causing death.

On March 18, Michigan State Police troopers from the Alpena Post responded to what was reported as two unresponsive males at a residence on U.S.-23 South in Alpena Township. Emergency medical services officials were already on the scene, where they found the two men dead. An autopsy later determined the cause of the deaths to be intoxication from multiple drugs, including fentanyl.

An investigation led the State Police to Krueger, and, on July 23, after some additional evidence-gathering and an arrest warrant being granted, Krueger was arrested in Vero Beach, Florida by the Indian River County Sheriff's Office.

On Aug. 10, Krueger was transported to Michigan by the Michigan State Police 7th District Fugitive Team and lodged in the Alpena County Jail.

Starting at /week.
