A joint investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office has resulted in the indictment of a Jacksboro woman on murder charges in connection to an overdose death. 

On April 2, 2021, special agents with the TBI Drug Investigation Division joined investigators with the Campbell County Sheriff’s Office in investigating the death of Abraham Zenas Wallace (DOB: 2/22/79) after he was found deceased in the 300 block of Cumberland Overlook Lane in Jacksboro. His cause of death was determined to be an overdose caused by fentanyl and methamphetamine toxicity. During the course of the investigation, agents determined that Sonya Kay Brotherton (DOB: 6/27/86), Wallace’s wife, was one of the individuals responsible for distributing the drugs to him.  

Last week, the Campbell County Grand Jury returned indictments charging Brotherton with one count of Second Degree Murder and one count of  Delivery of Schedule II. On Tuesday, she was arrested and booked into the Campbell County Jail on a $100,000 bond.
