GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A man who authorities say left a woman alone after she took a fatal dose of heroin in Grand Rapids is headed to trial.
Todd Stearns is charged with concealing the death of an individual, a five-year felony; possession of heroin, a four-year felony; and being a habitual offender. On Tuesday, he waived a preliminary hearing, sending the case on to circuit court for trial. No further court dates have yet been set.
The charges come after the death of 19-year-old Jessica Bailey. Authorities say Stearns was there when Bailey overdosed on heroin and knew that she died, but didn’t report it.
