MONROE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A Monroe man was arrested Thursday following a fatal drug overdose in December, police say.

According to the Monroe Police Department, investigators determined following a search warrant that Corderius Jerome Allen provided illegal narcotics to a victim in December 2023. Allen was charged with death by distribution April 11.

Officers say Allen was also wanted by North Carolina Probation and Parole. He was served with those warrants at the same time. He is being held at the Union County Jail with a $1 million secured bond.

The death by distribution law gives district attorneys the ability to prosecute individuals who sell drugs that lead to an overdose death.

NASA orders studies from private space companies on Mars mission support roles
Mars exploration has always been the exclusive purview of national space agencies, but NASA is trying to change that, awarding a dozen research tasks to private companies as a prelude to commercial support for future missions to the Red Planet. It's the second time in a month that the agency has shown its desire for commercial support in Mars missions, having more or less scrapped the original Mars Sample Return mission in favor of a to-be-determined alternative, likely by private space companies. A total of nine companies were selected to perform 12 "concept studies" on how they could provide Mars-related services, from payload delivery to planetary imaging to communications relays.
