GEORGETOWN, Ohio | A Brown County woman was sentenced to prison on Wednesday, on a charge of manslaughter, related to drugs.
On April 11, Brandy Keith, 34, and Terry Day agreed to meet and travel to Cincinnati on April 12, where they obtained heroin and used it on the way back to Brown County.
According to court records, Day became unresponsive in the area of Eastgate and Keith drove Day to his mother’s home in Mount Orab.
Keith left Day with his mother, who in turn called 911 for assistance, after Keith drove away.
Day died, and his autopsy indicated heroin and ethanol intoxication.
Police later located Keith, who was indicted Aug. 13, on two counts of involuntary manslaughter, and a count each of corrupting another with drugs, trafficking heroin, trafficking drugs and assembly of chemicals for the manufacture of drugs.
On Oct. 5, Keith pled guilty to a count of involuntary manslaughter, with a specification for forfeiture of her vehicle.
On Wednesday, Keith was sentenced to four years in prison and a recommendation for substance abuse program participation. The remaining charges were dismissed and her Chevrolet Prizm was forfeited.
Keith was given credit for time served of 88 days, and will be transported to Ohio Department of Corrections to serve her time.
