A Nottingham man has been arrested in connection with a fatal, 2016 drug overdose.

In the spring of 2015, authorities in Harford County began investigating a drug ring that was distributing large quantities of heroin in northeastern Baltimore City, in Baltimore County, in Harford County, and in surrounding states.

Detectives were able to determine that this ring distributed over two kilograms of heroin, and were linked to 15 fatal and 48 non-fatal overdoses in Harford and Baltimore counties.

Kaintuck was recently sentenced to 7 years in prison. Brown pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute heroin, and to possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. Brown is facing a minimum sentence of 20 years in prison at his sentencing next month.
