APPLETON, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Julius Elmer was charged Monday with reckless homicide for allegedly providing the drugs linked to a 2022 overdose death.
Elmer, 31, made an initial appearance Monday. Bond was set at $150,000 cash. He returns to court March 11 for a preliminary hearing.
In August 2022, police were called to investigate the death of a 42-year-old Appleton resident in the 500 block of E. Winnebago Street. The victim’s name has not been released.
According to the criminal complaint, police entered the apartment and found the unresponsive woman. Elmer allegedly provided the drugs to another man, who, in turn provided them to the victim.
The second suspect was referred to as a “co-defendant” during Elmer’s court hearing, but charges have not been filed against him yet.
The cause of death was listed as “acute mixed drug (Acetylfentanyl, Alprazolam and Fentanyl) toxicity,” the complaint states.
