VIDEO – TOO SAD! –

Aug. 23, 2024 – A Houston man who was accused of dealing the drugs that killed a young woman is going to prison.

Adam Briggs, 40, was sentenced to five years in prison on Thursday after pleading guilty to a charge of possession with intent to deliver that was connected with the death of Honor Wallace.

Wallace, 25, died from a heroin and fentanyl overdose in July 2022. Briggs was charged in connection with it in February 2023.

The Houston Police Department and prosecutors said they linked Briggs to Wallace’s death through text messages. He faced several charges, and this week, he reached a plea agreement on an unrelated one while two others were dismissed.

“We opted to have him plead to the higher charge and present her case as part of punishment in this hearing,” prosecutor Laurie Beth Jackson explained. “We were pleased to get a sentence of prison time in this case.”
