Another charge filed against Missouri man for distributing Heroin to a minor

court, judgeAn additional charge was brought Wednesday against a Columbia, Mo., man who previously was indicted by a federal grand jury for distributing heroin to a 16-year-old minor who died of a suspected heroin overdose.

Jon Patrick Washington, also known as “Doom,” 29, of Columbia, was charged in a superseding indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Jefferson City, Mo. Wednesday’s superseding indictment replaces a May 21, 2014, federal indictment and adds one additional count. Washington has been in federal custody since his arrest in 2014.

The indictment alleges that Washington maintained a drug-involved premise.
Washington allegedly rented a room at the Providence Inn and Suites Motel, 1718 Providence Road in Columbia (now closed), for the purpose of manufacturing, distributing or using heroin from April 1 to April 3, 2014.

The superseding indictment also contains the original charge against Washington for distributing heroin to a minor on April 2, 2014.

According to an affidavit filed in support of the original criminal complaint, Columbia police officers responded to a suspected heroin overdose death at the Providence Inn and Suites Motel on April 3, 2014. The victim was a 16-year-old female.
