The girlfriend of a former Texas judge who died from a fentanyl overdose has been charged with murder for allegedly giving him the deadly drugs.
Kami Ludwig, 35, was arrested Monday and is accused of buying fentanyl-laced Xanax pills, cocaine and other illegal narcotics that led to the November death of former Associate Tarrant County Judge William Shane Nolen.
The 47-year-old dad’s 9-year-old son was in the home at the time of his fatal overdose.
Ludwig faces counts of murder and possession of a controlled substance, Grapevine police said .
The woman’s arrest more than three months after the judge’s fatal overdose stems from a new state law that went into effect in September, creating a criminal offense of murder for supplying fentanyl that results in death.
