Greenfield Man Who Overdosed Charged With Possession of Heroin, Police Say

The heroin overdose of a Greenfield man has two men facing jail time, according to court records.

On April 11, Greenfield police officers were called to a home in the 5100 block of South 46th Street where Curtis Nelson, 20, was being tended by Greenfield paramedics for a possible drug overdose.

Nelson’s grandfather, who also lives at the home, gave police permission to search the residence. Officers found drug paraphernalia consistent with heroin use.

Once he recovered from the overdose, Nelson was arrested and later admitted to police that he had another bindle of heroin in his bedroom. Police returned to the home and found .07 grams of heroin in Nelson’s bedroom.

Nelson told police he purchased three bindles of heroin from Corey Neal, a 19-year-old Greendale man who lives in the 5800 block of Oriole Avenue.

When police went to Neal’s home, he admitted to selling three “dubs” of heroin to Nelson. When police searched Neal’s bedroom, officers located numerous drug paraphernalia items.

Neal was charged in Milwaukee County Circuit Court on Monday with delivery of a controlled substance, a felony that carries a maximum sentence of 12 ½ years of imprisonment and $25,000 in fines, if convicted.

Also on Monday, Nelson, the man who police say overdosed, was charged with felony possession of narcotic drugs. If convicted, he faces a maximum of 3 ½ years of imprisonment and $10,000 in fines.
