LYCOMING CO. (WOLF) — A Williamsport man, Keith Reitz, 60, is behind bars facing serious charges after being accused of delivering drugs that resulted in a fatal overdose.
Reitz has been charged by Pennsylvania State Police in Montoursville with criminal homicide, drug delivery resulting in death, manufacturing and delivering drugs, and criminal use of a communication facility. Court documents reveal that the victim, 46-year-old Nicole Bassett, died from an overdose on October 18, 2024. Authorities claim that Reitz provided Bassett with crack cocaine, and the two smoked it together.
