COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) A University of Missouri student has been charged with
providing the pain medication Percocet to a classmate who died in his dorm room.
Nineteen-year-old Carson Latimer was charged Monday with a felony count of
delivery of a controlled substance. His attorney didn’t immediately return a
phone message.
University police say Latimer sold Percocet to 19-year-old Boston Perry, of
Bethalto, on Jan. 21st. Perry was found unresponsive in his dorm room in Mark Twain Residence Hall the next afternoon. Emergency medical services attempted to revive Perry but were unsuccessful. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Charging documents say a Percocet pill found in Latimer’s room had the same
imprint as the pills found near Perry’s body.
The medical examiner’s office said Perry’s toxicology report has not yet been
returned.
