The mother and grandmother of the 16-year-old boy who was found dead inside a hotel room in Green are facing charges in the teen's suspected heroin overdose death.
Summit County Sheriff Steve Barry says Andrew Frye's mother, Heather Frye, and grandmother, Brenda Frye, are each facing an involuntary manslaughter charge.
Heather's son, Andrew, was found dead in the Super 8 hotel room Wednesday night. Preliminary results show that the 16-year-old had heroin in his system, although further tests are needed for confirmation to see if fentanyl also played a role.
Andrew, his mother, and his mother's friend, Jessica Irons, were staying the night at the hotel. Deputies say Andrew's mother told police she wanted to be "the fun weekend mom."
Irons is also facing a pair of charges including tampering with evidence and possesion of drugs. Another person has also been charged with possession of drugs.
Heather is also charged with child endangering and tampering with evidence and Brenda is also facing corruption and trafficking in drugs charges.
