We made an arrest, but we have no news to explain. Now that’s news

[emeraldforcier]

Oh, please, it doesn’t matter who sold him the drugs. He obtained and injested them with his own free will.

[julieparrish]

You cant beat the news top of their game.

[rossy]

Weird how they go after the dealers when it's a stupid ass celebrity who dies smh

[videoettaceo]

They arrested the dead guy? This is ridiculous.

[VG-ofyk]

The average Joe would not even get 1 second of the police department’s time..

How could he have obtained such a large amount of drugs? Well he's a millionaire and that's the order he put in. I'm not a millionaire so my orders were smaller. We r addicts.

[karelglasner]

Your crappie coverage has left people ignorant as usual 😂

[CoolDrifty]

How a successful 54 year old man can make it that long and still think buying from the “ketamine queen” is a sound idea is beyond me

NGL I thought Matthew Perry got arrested completely forgot he died 😬

[JonnyCrist]

ketamine infusion therapy huh man they will say anything if your a yuppie

[jjww]

What’s this world coming to when you can’t trust your drug dealer?

[liquiddevil]

If he were alive he wouldn’t want them blaming the dealer for his death.

[towncrieronfire]

Matt Perry was a hypocrite, saying Keanu Reaves should of died from heroine instead of River Phoenix. Forget him.

[jjjbosu]

OMG it is his fault. Stop blaming others. He was an adult who decided to take the drugs.

[DotrOfDt]

It does seem suspicious that Perry had been taking the drug without problem but then dies of an overdose. Could be the murderer's weapon of choice since the drug was nearby.

[RobinHood]

A drig addict died of an overdose. He unalived himself while bs’ing the public about helping other addicts.

Sorry it ended this way butno one should be charged for anything other than trafficking.

[AstronomicallyHuman]

I never understood charging the supplier when a junkie dies of an overdose. It's the same thing as people suing McDonald's for making them fat. They didn't come to you, you came to them. They didn't force a single Big Mac or chicken nugget down your throat. You went to them, they gave you what you paid for, and then you left. He's an adult who made a choice. It was a bad choice, but it's still a choice. A choice he and others make over and over again

He was a known F up for years. He is the only one to blame.

He did such an awesome job in Fallout:New Vegas. RIP Matthew
