A man accused of drug-induced homicide in the fentanyl-laced heroin overdose of a Carol Stream man has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.
Nathan Crosby, 38, of Willowbrook, pleaded guilty Jan. 25 to criminal drug conspiracy — manufacture or delivery of fentanyl/amphetamine, according to DuPage County court records.
He agreed to a sentence of 120 days in jail and four years of probation.
Crosby and his brother, Lee Crosby, were charged with drug-induced homicide for allegedly bringing the deadly drug to Timothy Kim between Jan. 16 and Jan. 18, 2021.
