From the State’s Attorney:
JERAMEE BROWN SENTENCED TO SIX YEARS IN THE ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS FOR THE OFFENSE OF DRUG INDUCED HOMICIDE
The McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office announces that Jeramee Brown, 22, of Crystal Lake, Illinois, was sentenced to six years in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
The sentence was handed down on January 9, 2025, by the Honorable Judge Mark Gerhardt after Brown plead guilty to one count of Drug Induced Homicide, a Class X Felony.
On March 11, 2024, officers of the Crystal Lake Police Department responded to a 911 call reporting there was an unresponsive man outside a residence.
Upon arrival, they immediately began life saving measures until Crystal Lake Fire and Rescue arrived on scene.
The man was transported to the hospital, where, despite the efforts, he was later pronounced dead having suffered a drug overdose.
A thorough investigation by detectives of the Crystal Lake Police Department were able to determine that Brown was the source of the fatal drugs.
The McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office continues to work with law enforcement to investigate the source of every illegal drug overdose in the county that results in a life lost.
Whenever possible, the State’s Attorney’s Office is committed to the aggressive prosecution of those who provide fatal doses of drugs to others.
McHenry County State’s Attorney Randi Freese congratulates the officers and detectives involved from the Crystal Lake Police Department on their investigative efforts that helped bring justice to this tragedy. This case was successfully prosecuted by Assistant State’s Attorney Brian Miller.
