A Florida man indicted in Tennessee on murder charge in connection to the overdose death of his son.

The investigation by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and the White Pine Police Department began in September 2021, when they were looking into the death of then 39 year-old Jason Imler after he was found dead at a residence in the 1000 block of Rosella Drive.

His cause of death was determined to be an overdose caused by fentanyl toxicity. The investigation revealed that his father, 63 year-old Jeffrey Imler was responsible for giving him the drugs.

The Jefferson County Grand Jury returned indictments charging him with one count of Second Degree Murder and one count of Delivery of Schedule II – Fentanyl. He was arrested in Palm Beach County, Florida and brought back to Tennessee and booked into jail.
