RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) — A 35-year-old Richland man is held in the Benton County Jail on suspicion of selling drugs that led to the overdose deaths of two people in the county.

The Tri-City Herald reports he provided information that leads investigators to believe he’s responsible for two more overdose deaths in Franklin County.

The man was arrested Wednesday when he was found in a car with prescription drugs not in a prescription bottle. He told police he was addicted to heroin and sold drugs, including to four people who have died since 2007.
