ST. LOUIS — An eastern Missouri woman has been sentenced to 11 years in federal prison for providing the heroin and fentanyl that led to an overdose death.

Shannon Rennee Bradley, 26, of Washington, was sentenced Tuesday in U.S. District Court, the U.S. Attorney’s office in St. Louis said in a news release. 

She pleaded guilty earlier this year to conspiracy to distribute and aiding and abetting in the distribution of the drugs. There is no parole in the federal system.

Prosecutors say Bradley and Jacob Brewer sold drugs to a woman and her boyfriend in October 2017. The buyers used the drugs later that night, and the boyfriend awoke to find the woman unresponsive, official said. She was later pronounced dead at a hospital.

Brewer pleaded guilty in May 2019 and is awaiting sentencing.
