An Evansville man is now facing 20 years in prison for selling pills that led to multiple overdoses – one of which was fatal.
According to the Department of Justice, Jeremial Leach used a Snapchat account under the name “Mel” to advertise pills laced with fentanyl. Snapchat is a social media platform known for storing images and videos for limited periods of time.
Evansville Police say they were twice called to a home on Wedeking Avenue on June 25, 2022.
The first time, they revived a woman with naloxone. The second time, they were not able to save a 19-year-old girl, who died. Both females had overdosed due to fentanyl intoxication.
Officers later learned that the 19-year-old had had conversations online with Leach, in which she had asked about buying certain pills. But, Leach did not stop selling drugs following her death.
In August of 2022, Evansville Police revived another woman with naloxone. They soon learned that she had taken a believed oxycodone tablet that she had purchased from Leach.
That October, investigators caught two individuals who had bought drugs at Leach’s home.

C’mon man!!
So how much was the recommended dose of fentanyl, and how much over that dose were the pills this vendor provided?
This guy poisons people to death & gets 20, while Paul Pelosi’s buddy gets 30?
Yeah, we’ve got a problem in our courts.
This is nothing new for Evansville, my birthplace. When I was in high school at Reitz High in the early ‘70’s there were a lot of students that did heroin.
There was one guy who used to steal truckloads of soybeans from one of his father’s storage elevators then take the money and travel to the barrios of Chicago and buy brown Mexican heroin. Pounds at a time. High schoolers!!!
It all came to a screeching halt with the murder of a student and his pregnant girlfriend, by his cousin, after the student received a batch of heroin from the farmer’s son to sell. The murdered student had a little black book of customers names that the police were astonished to find out how many middle and upper middle class kids were heroin users!
I don’t remember exactly how many were arrested because of that black book, but it was significant. I knew many of them from school. That was one of the catalysts for not returning to Evansville after college in New Orleans. Evansville was a sump back then, apparently still is.
Surely, there was an insert. You know, the folded-up one with the micro-mini print that no one reads?
Even the ones advertised on TV tells of possible side effects (sometimes including death). He didn’t make a deal with the US government for an lawsuit immunity clause. It’s all a matter of money whether you get in trouble.
Same insert/cautions used for Covid jabs.
