CARIBOU — Two people have been sentenced for their roles in the drug overdose death of a Caribou woman.
Prosecutors say Steven Doughty and Ashley Martin provided the prescription drugs that resulted in the February 2009 death of 29-year-old Tena McGraw.
Prosecutors say the 50-year-old Doughty gave a legally prescribed Fentanyl patch to Martin, who then gave it to McGraw. Martin and McGraw consumed the medicine orally and McGraw died.
The state medical examiner ruled that she died of Fentanyl toxicity. Fentanyl is a potent synthetic narcotic pain reliever and anesthetic.
The Bangor Daily News reports that Doughty pleaded guilty to a charge of trafficking in drugs. He was sentenced to five years in prison with all but 18 months suspended.
Martin pleaded guilty to aggravated unlawful furnishing of scheduled drugs and was sentenced to five years in prison.
