Heroin Supplier Charged With First Degree Murder After Overdose Death
July 23, 2015
An Escambia County Grand Jury has indicted James Jonathan Mitchell for first degree murder in the death of Donald Davis.
On January 30, 2014, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office found Donald Davis at his residence unconscious. He was later pronounced deceased at the scene. An autopsy determined that the cause of death was a result of acute heroin intoxication. Evidence of needle puncture marks were also found on Davis’ body. An ongoing narcotics investigation by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office revealed evidence that James Mitchell provided the heroin to Davis that resulted in his death.
Under Florida law, a person who distributes a controlled substance to a person which results in their death has committed first degree murder, according to the State Attorney’s Office.

Good job, local police. Keep it up.
A conviction and a death sentence should wipe that smile off his face, for good!
