NEW YORK (AP) — Four men face charges that they were members of the drug distribution crew that supplied a deadly mix of drugs to actor Michael K. Williams. The renowned actor from “The Wire” overdosed just hours after buying fentanyl-laced heroin in a sidewalk deal recorded on surveillance video. All four men were arrested Tuesday and are accused of distributing drugs of the kind that caused the death of Williams. One crew member is accused of handing Williams the drugs and was also charged with causing the actor’s death. Authorities said Wednesday that he was arrested in Puerto Rico.
