FOND DU LAC, WI (WTAQ)- A Fond Du Lac man was sentenced for a 2016 Fentanyl overdose death of a woman.
42-year-old Joshua Asencio was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 10 years of extended supervision in court Wednesday.
Emergency response was needed for a woman who was unconscious and not breathing inside an apartment.
That woman was identifed as Angela Cowling, and court records show that Asencio told police that he knew her as someone who abused prescription medications in the past, and planned to buy some heroin.
Police reports indicate that Asencio contacted 911 when he heard Cowling collapse in the bathroom.
Detectives indicated that they located a chewing tobacco canister that tested postive for Asencio’s DNA.
Investigators say the residue inside the canister showed that Fentanyl and 6-Monoactylmorphine were present inside the canister.
