Local Man Sentenced For Killing His Drug Dealer

Franklin County Sheriff's Office

A Madison Township man will serve 28 years for shooting and killing his friend and heroin dealer. 25-year-old Todd Charles pleaded guilty to multiple charges in the death last September of 24-year-old John Emmers in his Truro Township apartment. Prosecutors believe the shooting resulted from a drug deal gone bad.
