Lance Kennedy, former MSU student who was charged with multiple drug-related felonies following the overdose death of another MSU student, was bound over Thursday to the Oktibbeha County grand jury.
Kennedy, who was enrolled as a freshman kinesiology major last semester, was arrested and charged with felony possession of marijuana, cocaine, herion and Xanax on Feb. 7 after an investigation into the accidental overdose death of Teresa Veal.
Kennedy was released from custody after posting a $100,000 bond and was set to make his initial appearance Feb. 16, but a continuance to Thursday delayed this.
He did not appear in court today, but was represented by his lawyer.
Veal was found dead in Kennedy’s  Louisville Street apartment in the early morning hours of Feb. 4.  An autopsy later revealed high levels of cocaine and herion in her system.
Kennedy’s case will be presented to the grand jury, which normally meets in July.
