ICE recovered in Tipton County drug bust An overdose death led to the recovery of illegal drugs in Tipton County. The Tipton County Sheriff’s Department made this discovery after investigating the death of Stephen Tyler Duke. The 28-year-old was found dead in the 700 block of Dogwood Lane in Brighton back in March. Evidence at the scene led deputies to believe Duke had died from an accidental overdose. Investigators said shortly before his death, the 28-year-old had made contact with a man named Eric John Morris. Morris had a warrant for his arrest. In the search of Morris’ home, deputies discovered he had more than a pound of ICE in his possession. They also recovered drug paraphernalia, marijuana, heroin, two handguns and a grenade. Morris has been charged with driving on a revoked/suspended/canceled license, possession of schedule I with intent, possession of schedule II with intent, possession of schedule VI, possession of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, convicted felon in the possession of a weapon, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Morris was scheduled to appear in court this past Friday.
