Student's Arrest Tied to Friend's Overdose Death at Lewis: Cops

Romeoville police say Lewis University student Jamie Olson took steps to conceal her involvement in the suspected heroin death of her friend.

 

A 20-year-old Frankfort woman died of a drug overdose while at a Lewis University dorm this weekend, and the friend with whom she was staying has been arrested for trying to conceal her role in the death, Romeoville police said Monday.

Anna Marinier was found dead at Fitzpatrick Hall at about 11:10 a.m. Sunday, Romeoville Assistant Police Chief Steve Lucchesi said. Although toxicology tests are still pending, it's suspected she overdosed on heroin, he said.

Her friend, Jamie Olson, 21, of 9125 Letterkenny, Tinley Park, was arrested Sunday night on a felony charge of obstruction of justice and booked into the Will County jail.

Citing the "ongoing investigation," Lucchesi declined to disclose what Olson did in terms of obstructing the case other than "she tried to conceal her involvement in this incident."

The two women had been together for most of Saturday night and Sunday morning, but Lucchesi would not say if they were in the dorm for that entire time or if they had gone out and returned. "Some admissions have been made" about the fact that heroin had been involved, but Lucchesi said he could not release any other details.

It's possible that more charges may be forthcoming, he said.

According to jail records, Olson has been arrested at least twice previously. In November 2011, she was charged with misdemeanor identity theft and felony forgery and in April 2012 she was arrested on three counts of felony identification theft stemming from an incident that occurred in September 2011.

Lewis University, based in Romeoville, announced the death on Sunday via its Facebook page but did not reveal the victim's name.

"The Lewis University community expresses its prayerful sympathy to all who are touched by this tragedy, especially family and friends," the Facebook statement said.

Olson was charged with identity theft and forgery last year in New Lenox. Police said she stole four checks from a New Lenox resident and cashed them for $120 total.

How many more young people have to die before we make it a priority to fix this problem? Thanks to Romeoville High School for hosting a forum on this. Now, let's not just talk about it, let's do something about it.The Police cannot fight this alone. We need people to speak up and we need to educate our young people of the dangers of this and other drugs. So sad.

Your right education is the only way..all the force in the world is not stopping it..people need to learn self responsibility...this friend,student...yeah she was there but her friend could of over dosed anywhere...it was her friends choice to put in her body what she chose....me as sick as it might sound..dying near a friend is better than dying in a ditch...or like the one guy did his friend when he overdosed...wrapped him in a carpet got into a police chase and the police found the guys friend in the back of a pickup truck.

I don't know what the true answer is. I am a parent and it's scary. I know that my children, one is a teen, know that drugs are bad and they say they would not try them and that people who do are crazy. So that is a good sign. They learn about it in school, my husband and I talk to them, we interact in their lives and not let them run amok. It still can happen though. I know a really good wholesome family whose daughter got into it. I don't know what their personal family life was like or her social life but it was shocking. I also didn't know how addictive heroin was until she was arrested. THey say it's like a 90% chance you can become additcted on the first try. That's crazy. I was always afraid of hard drugs growing up but that was me. I guess I don't understand how you can take something knowing you might die. I guess at that age, death isn't something you think can happen. I think you really have to scare the heck out of kids to get through to them.

My Daughter went to high school with Jamie. Sadly, she has always been trouble. She's been responsible for bringing heroin around many of her friends, including my daughter. Although my daughter has never done the drug, Jamie has tried to get her to do it many times until I made it known to Jamie she wasn't allowed in or near my house, or my daughter. Parents...please worry about your children if this girl was in your house or hanging around with your child. R.I.P Anna.

Injecting yourself with heroin is a choice that you and ONLY you can make. I am not saying that this was not tragic. Jamie Olson did not force a needle into Anna's arm, and as I know this specific incident, heroin was not the only thing that she was taking, nor was it the first time she made the bad choice to do it. Nobody can justify putting the blame on Jamie. Yes, she has a heroin addiction, but that in no way had anything to do with the death of her friend. People need to open their eyes and place blame where blame is due. Anna had a bad problem with drugs. She chose to get high, and the result was tragic. I truly feel for her family, and will keep them in my prayers, but the fact is, everyone needs to own up to their own problems, the fact that Anna had a severe drug problem that had absolutely nothing to do with Jamie Olson, and stop trying to pawn the blame on someone else. If her problem with heroin was that bad, it would have eventually come to this... and that poor girl Jamie just happened to be the one she was doing it with that night. PEOPLE MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES. RIP Anna... I wish you would have gotten the help that you needed long before it came to this. I will also keep Jamie in my prayers. Not only did this poor kid lose a friend, but is now taking the blame for the bad choice that friend made. I'm sorry if my opinion seems harsh, but now that poor girl is sitting in jail for something she had NO CONTROL OVER, and another young life is wasted.

Ok, this is for the comment by "NoMoreDrugs". In THIS situation, Anna was the one who bought the heroin, with her own money. Drove herself and Jamie to go and get it, as Jamie did not have a car. So buy your logic, the dealer she got the drugs from, which SHE provided Jamie with, is the one who should be behind bars, not Jamie Olson. Yes, it's sad that Anna will never have a chance now to better her life, which even according to her own father she was spiraling and had no interest in doing so... her death just happened sooner rather than later. And now this poor girl is sitting in jail because of a bad decision ANNA made, not something she was forced to do, and Jamie is paying for it. How is she supposed to better her life, when she has to spend it in a jail cell for something she didn't even do.

My kid's know Jamie and know what type of a scum she is. I'm sure the person she stole her identity is grateful she did. You are only seeing the charges she has had since she turned 18. What about all the other trouble she has caused prior? Her main goal was to get more customers, everyone who knows her knows that to be true!

She did not force anyone to do anything they didn't want to... your judgment that you place on this poor child is ignorant and completely misguided. I am so tired of parents and friends acting like the other woman was a victim in this. As I said, it is VERY sad, VERY tragic... but also VERY much her own fault, and nobody else's. Stop trying to pawn it off on the other woman involved, just because you all feel you need someone to blame, when the blame is nobodies but the young woman who CHOSE to inject heroin. Again, all involved will be in my prayers.

If this girl is allowed to be charged in the death of her friend all we are doing is making it worse and more dangerous for friends to call for other friends help....throwing this kid in jail will set an example to others to just ditch the person and not even be around while they are overdosing...look at the guy who put his friend In a rug and put him in the back of a pickup truck and got into a high speed chase..what do you think he was going to do?..he was going to get rid of the body...to conceal an overdose of a person who chose to put a substance into their own body....If we allow this other things come from this....Next it will be your fault if you loan a licensed friend your car with valid insurance and they get into an accident and kill someone....it was your car,your friend,your choice to loan them the car..yours,yours,yours...with no notice or recognition of your friends own actions that caused the accident...where does it stop people getting in trouble for other peoples actions?...Let me ask this...how do people think most people will look at this? Is it Jamie's fault or is it Anna's fault...now there is a mom on here that knew Jamie and said she brought it around her kid and her kid did not touch it..but this friend in the dorm did...is it an act of self responsibility or is it always someone else's fault?..we are heading towards bad ground here..if a friend overdoses at a party.Is the whole party responsible? Or just the person who stuck themselves?

John, I couldn't agree more. If you are at a bar, you leave and drive home drunk, get in a car accident on the way home and tragically kill another driver on the road... does the bartender who gave you the beer take the blame for what happened? The entire bar? They all knew, so are they at fault? NO. Jamie is a sweet kid. Yes, she had a problem with heroin, but that in no way makes her responsible for that girl choosing to inject herself that night. At some point a line needs to be drawn. If people think her going to jail is justified, then wouldn't it be true of the dealer they got the drugs from to be sitting there too, and then the dealer that gave that dealer the drugs... and so on?

Who's god is right,who's god should they preach..on my kids worksheet it had the word prophet example sentence was...Muhommad is the prophet of the Muslim Religion..
Next sentence was...Sacrifice...example sentence was ..I give up pop for lent each year....

now let me ask..how is this "Job Training" how is this helping my kid to get a Job..or any kids for that matter...while other kids in he world are studying computer chips,programs,alternative fuels.....Religion should be taught at home..otherwise why do we send our kids to school? If not to get a job,to have a career,and a life...to learn about God?...and how about remembering religion is something that was forced upon citizens from kings...what the king believed in you had better too..and most kings switched religions when it came time to losing a war...I agree with the no religion in schools....especially when a judge already said that a man who dressed like Muhommad on Halloween was attacked..and e judge said that the man who attacked him was obligated to attack the man due to his "Religion"....this happened here in America...

There needs to be a forgiveness law in Illinois like there is in many States. If someone calls 911 due to a drug overdose by a friend, there can be no arrests of anyone for drugs. That way, they would be more apt to call an ambulance instead of fearing repurcussions allowing more kids to be saved.

The only reason she did it is because of fear of going to jail...humans almost every human will try to conceal a crime that could make them lose time from their life...Yep she knew,but so did her friend....all heroin users understand there is a possibility of overdosing....This is why it is important to have a forgiveness law...think about how long it was before the girl called the ambulance..it takes a couple of minutes to gather your thoughts,start hiding everything,double check and then get the guts up to call...if there was a forgiveness law this girl could of called immediately and possibly saved her friend....She only tried to conceal to save her own ass not her friends..it's just the way the human mind works....if Jamie faced no charge she would not have messed wi anything nor took as long to call for help..

Jamie Olson did NOT supply the heroin. Anna drove them in HER car, bought the drugs with HER money. Know your facts before you condemn this poor kid. Yes, Anna bought the drugs for Jamie, but then turned around and asked to partake. I don't think you know much about a heroin addict, because if you did, you would know that the last thing they want to do is to share the drugs that they do have. And so she has a past... so what!! I can assure you that you are NOT perfect, and who are you to judge anyone?? And yes, before you point at me, I DO have children. If my child made the choices that Anna did, I could blame nobody but her and possibly myself as a parent, for not getting her the help that she desperately needed. Heroin was not the only drug that child was on, nor was it the first time she used. Let God judge, because it is not your place to trash and condemn that poor girl.

Agreed. All this sympathy is BS. She knew what she was doing. Not to mention the obvious, my parents always taught me that if you are around bad stuff, bad stuff is going to happen to you. Sorry, but a friend of mine shows up at my place with an illegal drug, they are sent packing and are no longer my friend. Anybody that would put you into that situation isn't your friend, anyhow. Not to mention this whole BS that everyone wants to sell you about Peer Pressure, Sorry, Doesn't exist. I have never ONCE had my friends or Aquaintances or strangers come up to me and try to get me to do drugs or alcohol. Peer Pressure is an excuse for people who have no identity of their own. Getting involved with drugs or people who do drugs is a choice. If this girl made better choices, she wouldn't be in jail. If the other girl made better choices, she would still be alive. Sorry, people, but Darwinism happens, believe it.

So by your logic, Anna deserved to die? SHE made the choice to shoot heroin into her veins. She BOUGHT it, therefore she is the one that provided it. So if it was Jamie that passed away, according to your OPINION, as your logic is far from fact, then Anna would deserve to go to jail? Why does Jamie deserve to get charged because of something Anna, a drug addict did? I just can't wrap my brain around the ignorance that I am reading here. When I was younger-over ten years ago-I was at a party. While there, a young girl overdosed. Someone had called 911, and then everyone bailed. I was the only person that sat with that poor girl as she passed away. I was also on drugs at the time, and even though I knew I could get in a lot of trouble, I could not let this young girl, scared and alone, pass away with nobody by her side. And no, I didn't know her from a hole in the ground. The possibility of myself being held responsible for her death never even crossed my mind. And guess what, I was NOT held responsible in any way. In fact, this girls parents were so grateful that I had enough of a heart to sit with their baby so that she was not scared and alone. No blame was put on me. The only thing the police did was have me make a statement containing anything I could remember that could help them. They praised me for what I did. Jamie DID call 911. Yes, she hid the stuff. She is just a kid, and she was scared. She called 911, did CPR. She sat with her, afraid for her friend.

Reading is fundamental....a previous mom said she knows Jamie and her tricks. She is not an innocent party here. I know Anna's mom fought tirelessly to keep Anna away from that, but Anna has other issues that made her vulnerable and Jamie knew it. More than not calling on time she refused to provide police with Anna's mom's number so she could be notified. It was hours later until police researched that they were able to contact the family. It's sickening and that girl will continue her crap unless she is behind bars.

Even behind bars it continues to play out...Lock drug users and dealers in prison and you can not keep drugs out of them..Go figure....who's dorm room was it? How did that girl get there? Obviously not by force..means the girl went there with full intentions of what she was going to do...by people's comments if your a heroin user and you sneak down to the basement and do your heroin and overdose your whole family should go to jail..it happened in their home..even though you chose to stick that stuff in you..but because your family begged you to stop using heroin before that means they knew about it...and according to most ...should be arrested.

Well John, your posts over the last three hours sound as if you are on something. There has to be a consequence for a persons actions. It is unfortunate that a person died, however, sometimes death is a consequence. It is the responsibility of the parents to teach the proper morals and values to their children. Your post sound like no one is to blame, no one is at fault, and no one should be punished.

No... but lets face it paint companies,fuel companies,glue companies..all play a responsibility in people hoofing,these products then..people have to watch how laws are enforced..like the 3 strikes law yeah it sound great right? until some father goes to jail for a life sentense because hs kid had some marijuana in the house he knew nothing about....law says there is drugs in the house any parolee in the house goes back to prison...George Washington said the best way to repeal a law is to strictly enforce it....take a look at the drug laws know why they are being repealed? The activists say too many people being locked up and mistreated and the state says it is revenue too a crippled economy... in reality it is because of strict enforcement it has shown you will never stop any one from doing anything..you can only give punishmment and the punishment does not immediately effect the next person until after an act is commited...bottom line the chick pu the stuff in her own body

They should get in trouble if they are injecting illegal narcotics Also. If you are sitting there watching your friend destroy their lives you are NO friend. Jamie is no innocent person and yea Anna chose to do the heroin herself My concern is 38 deaths in one town? Where are the cops. Someone knows where to get these drugs. One little fish leads to the bigger pond. My prayers for Anna and her family. Let us not judge the dead

She didn't supply the heroin. Anna bought it with her own money. They are called facts, please know them before you continue to trash this poor child. Anna bought it, Anna drove to pick it up, and Anna did it. Sadly, she paid the ultimate price... but that is not Jamie's fault either. Jamie is also the one who called 911, meaning she would never be charged with drug induced homicide anyway. When drugs and OD are involved, the person that calls 911 gets immunity against any of those charges. So the only thing she will be charged with is obstruction of justice.. and that is only because she is just a kid, and she was scared shitless. Give her a damn break, they were both in the wrong.. they are not the first, nor will the be the last kids that have to go through this heartbreak.

@John Roberts & @James

Will County has a law in place for these situations already, and that is if you call 911 on your friend in the case of a Herron overdose, you get immunity. They are taking steps to try and save lives but people like Jamie are in trouble not for putting the needle in Anna's arm but for letting her die and ignoring it. You really should be informed John before you speak- Jamie knew Anna was dying, which is why she is in trouble. This is in fact why she is arrested, for trying to conceal the death.

I wish it was that easy, but that's not how the law works. Sharing heroin between users is not the same as delivering it, which is needed in the statute. If she would have called for paramedics when her friend was showing signs of overdosing, she most likely would not have been charged with anything that night. The new immunity law will hopefully save some of these kids lives.

The Plano man who told police he dozed as his 17-year-old girlfriend fatally overdosed on heroin was sentenced last week to 12 years in prison for drug-induced homicide, court records show.

Kevin M. Mueller, 25, of the 600 block of West Abe Street, told police in May 2011 that he and his girlfriend of 6 months had driven to Chicago and acquired heroin, court records show. They went to his home, where he divided the heroin in two lines and the pair inhaled it. When he awoke, she was dead, court records indicate he told police.

Yep and who knows if he is telling the truth..chances are he knew she was dying..but because he could get into trouble chances are he waited...point being no matter who brought it,who done it,where it came from...if you are able to get in trouble when a friend overdoses we will have more and more cases where people are left..or more stories about "I went to sleep" ...not a situation where em can tell police...Yeah we did some heroin "on our own free will" and be honest about it and get help and not have to worry about jail....it is sad to say... Humans will let other Humans die to save their own ass..we can not change that it is a natural instinct....You have heard the saying "all I have to be is faster than my friend" ....people joke but we all know that's the truth...if there is an immunity law how is there obstruction..if the only crime was dying from an Overdose..now if she tried to remove the body..yeah but the more we arrest people for others overdosing the more we will see the deaths of more people and not the stories where people were saved...every story that hits the papers will most likely end with someone dies while the other person tried to cover it up....think about how long a time period it took this girl to start hiding evidence..after a few minutes lack of air the brain dead process starts....time to hide,think,process,and to do the act,then call..probably took a couple minutes on the phone with the police...Time is most important to save a life...

As a fire/medic of the area, I have personally seen hundreds of heroin cases in the past few years and it is terrible to see how much it controls someone's life. Even more so, it is terrible to see how many lives it has taken. The truth is, parent's can only educate their children. No matter how much you think you have control over a child/teen, they ultimately can make their own decisions. Sadly, watching their friends die is not enough. In their minds they are still thinking "it won't happen to me", "I won't take as much". Heroin is almost immediate suicide, and if you get past the odds and become addicted, the struggle of the life of a heroin addict could kill you non the less. I truly believe that school need to talk specifically about this drug, because in asking young children about the drugs they learn about in health class, they mainly focus on marijuana. Kids say they know of heroin, but never learned about the effects, or even what it looks like. So much really can be done to educate our children because in the end, the choice is really theirs whether or not to do it. We can only hope we have influenced them to make the right choice.

Exactly right..I have well educated my kids on what drugs can do,sad to say even parents enable their kids,they may not realize it,your a medic and see exactly what I am talking about..sad to say I had to use family members and friends as examples...the choice is all theirs...people finally come to a point after all the fist fights,arguing,begging,cop calls you reach and end because any more and you go to jail...for helping someone and making it and issue to tell someone they need help....You learn that you can spend all of the time you have in your life arguing with them or you can spend what time you have with them being with them as family and friends...respectable friends and family will not come around you all jacked up....first time you enable and give them money they will be at the house all jacked up....I have seen people just like you have jacked up on heroin,meth,X,crack,bathsalts...but have also seen the effects of Methadone,and Suboxin as treatment...and if they can not get either it's back to OxyContin,and meth or heroin....you start to see it as a reality..not a promotion of drug use..just a realization of the world you live in and 40 years of a violent drug war has done nothing at all to curb it....It is just a reality..weather prescriptions or illegal substances....the world will always have this problem...because in the end it is personal choice..

like i said i know these two girls really well before i went to rehab i did the drug with them and they most likely went to one of their dealers since they have multiple dealers wich they found driving around chicago asking around. they also took whoevers car they were able to get and i can promise both of them had thier own money since niether would pay for the others drugs and if only one had money they would have gone alone and ditched the other and they only reason they where at jaimies dorm is thats probably the only place were they were able to go get high and enjoy themeselves since i know theyve paid to get motel rooms to avoid people against there addiction to enjoy there high they both chose to do it no1 forced them anna got clean at one point but went back to it if it was jaimie that died everyone would say its annas fault i promise you that and jaimie probably didnt know anna died and thought she was just really fd up and nodding off or going in and out of consiousness wich is one of the affects heroin gives and people seek she was thinking o wow let her enjoy this i wana b that high and anna on her part kept doing more and more to get a "good high" and didnt wait between doses to see how high she got so when it all hit her at once it was just to much

myself and another friend where told it was crushed up pills at a party from who we didnt know was an addict at the time gave us we were young and stupid and he gave it to us a few times for free then we started getting withdrawls afterwards and one thing led to another but anna and jaimie knew what it was when they did it the first time and basically begged my friend who refused to give it to them at first because he didnt want the same thing to happen to them and become addicted then one day he had no cash and was dope sick and anna and jaimie offered to buy him some if they can try it and then they eventually saw where they can get it and went and found the drug dealers themeselves and they basically became dope buddies and would go and do it togather. as to what i did differently i finally realized that i was an addict and i cant keep doing it to avoid the withdrawls because if i kept doing it i would be in jail or worse die ( this realization happend when i was actually waiting for my drug dealer at a gas station and the police pulled up and searched me and my friend we didnt have anything on us at the time but he was withdrawing and they knew what we were doing and they had a heart to heart talk with us and told us it was not worth it i was only 19 at the time and thank god i was only snorting) we got into contact with the officer and he actually went out of his way to help us and got us into a rehab and N.A program and it was not easy getting clean and its hard staying

i stopped talking to them and i dont know where they got it from they had there own people that they went to that they found on their own and if u knew an addicts mentality they never give someone there dealers number because if you want to go to thier dealer they want to be the middle man and make you buy them some for taking you to get the drug they call it dope law if i knew i promise i would have came forward already

That's the point Disciple...the law that throws people in jail stops people from comming forward...all he is saying is exactly what most did...these 2 are separate people who made their own choice...And no matter what now the are charging Jamie....Over here on Hebbard street I know a man that did not call police until after his girlfriend was non responsive for 13 hours...he called the police and left...when he wanted to go to the hospital he called them and know what happened...The police got on the line and told him to come on down to the hospital...we all know it is so they can arrest him...and for what?..this chick did the heroin..yeah he might of my guess is he did some too... But EXACTLY what cleaned up said he probably thought she was just high as hell and even enjoying it....13 hours later she would not wake up...he had to call and leave..he could not stay there to make sure she got help..he left not knowing if they medical assistance she needed was comming or not...they came she is in the hospital but no one knows how she is doing...and who wants to go check...the police might think you had something to do with it....let me explain this...Every day we bust people for DUI.right....off to jail....now let me explain this...sometimes the fear of going to jail will cost lives...My mother was killed by a man doing 110 on a motorcycle..know why..because the police were chasing him at 110 and he creamed into the side of my moms van killing her...because he was going to jail.

It was a well known accident..on Briggs street in 1995...John Frantachini and his cousin he had not seen in ten years...Was an accident with a crotch rocket boarded out,parents had the bike chained up...he cut the chain,hot wored the bike and went to a party with his cousin,when they left the police chase pursued....now act of self responsibility comes in....This kid ran from the police at 110mph...his parents did everything they could...he ended up killing him,his cousin..and my mother now..let me explain...we could of sued the people he partied with,his parents,and the police for the chase...but I looked at his parents in that court room and seen they were hurting just like my family....going against my families wishes..I did not sue...then it would of been just about money like it was his parents fault..and it was not..it was his own decision that killed 3 people,not the makers of the bike,his parents,nor the police..bikes are made for riding,police are here to protect,and his parents took the bike from him....bottom line it was John's fault no one else's....I don't just preach self responsibility I live it....I believe if your not forced,tied down,against your will..then it was your own free will to act..

This worries me. I live on same street as this Olsen girl and they just moved into their home within the last year. Our subdivision is loaded with young impressionable children and having this influence at end of our block causes lots of concern especially seeing her track record with other arrests.

To all of the posters on here...yes, something needs to be done, and according to Captain John Roberts, former Chicago Cop and father who lost his own son to overdose (I assume no relation to John Roberts above) "We can't arrest our way out of the situation" He is right. The Good Samaritan Law.."Don't Run, Dial 911" was put in place for just this situation. The girl might face charges because she failed to dial 911. What happed to "Cleaned Up" also happened to my son...was told the the white powder was another, less harmful (in his mind) drug. He would have never started on heroin knowingly. Most kids are tricked into it initially. Like Juan's mom above, I lost my own son 4 months ago after a 6 month struggle to stay clean. But we are doing something about it. There are groups forming all over the Chicago area, and we are getting ready to launch an awareness/prevention campaign state-wide. Anyone interested can join our facebook page at Open Hearts Open Eyes. We are 5,000 strong and along with other groups in the Chicago and suburban area, we are a combined effort of 10,000 people committed to stopping this heroin epidemic. Everyone here can talk and talk, but action is what is needed to change the course of events. My heart goes out to all who have lost to this deadly disease. We have a mom's support group, connections to several grief groups in the area, support for current addicts, adn alternative supports. Check us out!

i knew both jamie and anna. and i have to say that jamie is not a bad person. the drugs turned her into one. she panicked and did what she thought was best in the state of mind she was in. which obviously wasnt a very good one. and its sad that it had to end this way. but when in addiction u dont think it will happen to u or u dont care if it does. i know jamie wasnt a good friend to be around when she was using but really who is. heroin attaches to u it becomes ur new love. i know from experiance. thankfully ive been clean off it 7 months now but yea i still struggle with the thought in my head. it will always be there. some people just arent ready to give up that lifestyle...
