Three men are facing charges for smuggling fentanyl into the downtown Louisville jail in July, which prosecutors say led to the overdose death of a man incarcerated there.
The Jefferson County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office said a grand jury indicted Jeremy Sego on Tuesday with one count of promoting contraband and one count of possession of fentanyl. Prosecutors say Sego brought the potent drug into the jail on July 8 and gave it to three other men. Sego was booked into the jail that day, according to court records.
