Suspect in West Salem overdose death is jailed in La Crosse
An Arkansas man charged with reckless homicide in a drug overdose case has now arrived at the La Crosse County jail.
Lathan Foster was booked in the jail on Friday, more than two weeks after being arrested in Arkansas for the December death of Jeremy Pittman of West Salem. Foster is likely to appear in court on Monday.
A criminal complaint against Foster was filed in La Crosse County in early July. Police believe he gave drugs, that included fentanyl, to Pittman, who was found dead at his home last New Year’s Eve.
Fentanyl was determined to be the cause of Pittman’s death.
