A Huntington man is charged in connection with the death of a teen from drug use in July. Tony Eldon Lee Jr.’s arrest came after a 15-year-old teen died from cardiac arrest on July 19 due to methamphetamine intoxication. Huntington police said an investigation following his death revealed that Lee, who was dating the teen’s mother at the time, had sold him illegal narcotics just prior to his death. Eyewitness News said the arrest came after an autopsy report from the Medical Examiner’s Office.
Lee has a lengthy criminal history with multiple felony convictions, according to Huntington police. He’s being held at the Western Regional Jail on a $106,000 cash-only bond.
