The Tranq caused the victim, a man named John Mark Harris, to suffer a toxic overdose.
Whitney‘s arrest comes a little over a month after her teenage son, Weston, who died of natural causes.
Whitney was also arrested on two other charges involving controlled substances, including possession with intent to distribute. She was previously arrested in the past for allegedly shoplifting a pregnancy test, smashing up some electronics and failing to pay child support. This story is still developing.
