HERKIMER (AP) - State police are charging a 31-year-old man with criminal sale of a controlled substance for selling prescription painkillers to a woman who later died of an overdose.

James Judson is being held without bail in the Herkimer County jail.

He was in jail in Florida on unrelated charges when he was indicted by a Herkimer County grand jury in connection with the death of 28-year-old Lea Bazinet.

An autopsy showed that Bazinet died Aug. 8, 2007, from an overdose of Oxycodone mixed with alcohol.

Troopers say Bazinet bought the painkillers from Judson.

He is due back in court when he has a lawyer.
