Grant County, IN – A Grant County woman was taken into custody today after investigators linked her to an October 27 fatal overdose that occurred at an apartment in Marion, according to officials. The arrest marks a major development in a case that has been under investigation for nearly three weeks.
According to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, Marion Police, Marion Fire, and Marion Health EMS responded to 1018 W. 10th Street, Apartment C, after receiving a call about a possible overdose. A 26-year-old man was pronounced deceased at the scene despite lifesaving efforts. Because evidence suggested the death may have been overdose-related, the J.E.A.N. Team Drug Task Force assumed investigative responsibility.
Investigators said sufficient evidence was later developed to obtain an arrest warrant for Ashley D. O’Loughlin, 34, of Marion, for allegedly dealing a controlled substance resulting in death—a Level 1 felony. Authorities said she was located at a residence in Grant County on Saturday and taken into custody without incident.
O’Loughlin is currently being held at the Grant County Jail on a $100,000 cash bond. The Sheriff’s Office said the case remains active, and additional investigative steps are ongoing. Agencies assisting in the case include the Grant County Prosecutor’s Office, the Grant County Coroner’s Office, the Grant County Sheriff’s Office, and the Marion Police Department.
Anyone with information regarding illegal narcotics activity is encouraged to contact the J.E.A.N. Team at 765-664-0019.
