ROCHESTER, Minn. – A man has been arrested for allegedly supplying the drugs that caused a fatal overdose.
Lam Mathaing Yieb, 23 of Rochester, was booked in the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center Wednesday on charges of third-degree murder and obstructing the legal process. Yieb is being held on $150,000 bond.
Court documents state Yieb supplied cocaine and a blue pill with “M 30” on it and identified as a “perc 30” to an individual who suffered a fatal overdose on February 4 in the 600 block of 4th Avenue NW in Rochester. An autopsy says the victim, an adult male, died from the combined toxic effects of fentanyl and cocaine.
