Parker County Sheriffâs Office working in collaboration with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Fort Worth Police, spearheaded an investigation leading to the arrest of a suspect in connection with the overdose death of an Aledo teen.
Parker County Sheriff Russ Authier said the case stemmed from the death investigation of an 18-year-old teen who died April 13, from an apparent overdose. Law enforcement authorities believe the teen crushed and snorted one-quarter of a round, blue tablet marked âM30 that we believe was sold to him as Percocet.â
Parker County Special Crimes Unit (SCU) and Criminal Investigations Division (CID) began the investigation discovering the identity of the person who supplied the teen with the drugs on the day he died. The suspect has been identified as Brosnon Marquis Ashton, 29, of Fort Worth.
