9/19/13 - A Detroit man suspected of selling drugs to a Brighton Township woman shortly before she fatally overdosed has been arraigned. 30-year-old Sofronzo Eric Horne was arraigned in 53rd District Court on a charge of delivering a controlled substance causing death. The charge was filed in connection with the July 4th death of 28-year-old Deidre Alvis in Genoa Township. MSP Detective Sergeant Scott Singleton told WHMI the cause of death was determined to be drug intoxication from heroin, and investigation revealed that Alvis had purchased the drugs from Horne. The Michigan State Police Fugitive Apprehension Team arrested Horne earlier this week at his Detroit residence without incident. He was originally arrested in July, which turned up contraband including heroin and a shotgun. Future court dates are pending. (JM)
