TBI: Victim’s Father, Two Others Charged in Kingsport Overdose Death

Kingsport, TN (WOKI) A months-long investigation results in charges in the overdose death of a Kingsport woman.

In a release issued Monday, July 17, The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says a multi-agency investigation was launched in February after then 30 year-old Ashley Way was found dead in an apartment on Bloomingdale Pike in Kingsport.

That investigation determined that Jamichale Faine, Megan Newland, and William Way, the victim’s father, were responsible for providing Ashley Way with the fentanyl that led to her death.

Each of the suspects are charged with one count of second-degree murder; they were arrested last week and booked into the Sullivan County Jail on a $150,000 bond.
