8-4-17 milwaukee man convicted in fdl county heroin overdose was dealing drugs from jail cell

A Fond du Lac county prosecutor says a Milwaukee man convicted in a heroin overdose death case was dealing drugs from his jail cell.   Stephen Jordan was sentenced this week to 10 years in prison for supplying the heroin that led to the overdose death of an Oakfield man in 2015.  Assistant District Attorney Dennis Krueger says he believes a long prison sentence was appropriate.  Krueger says investigators were able to use cell phone records to link Jordan to the sale.   “They were able to link a number of people including the defendant to that (cell phone) number and were able to show that Mr. Jordan was in control of that number in order to promote the sale of heroin and cocaine in southeast Wisconsin,”  Krueger told WFDL news.  “He controlled that phone even when he was serving time in the Milwaukee County Jail.”
