Prosecution on hold for woman charged with supplying heroin

MONROE - Prosecution is on hold for an Illinois woman charged with supplying heroin to two Monroe women who overdosed last October.

Jenny Mae Rogers, 28, McConnell, is currently serving a prison sentence in Illinois for separate convictions by participating in a "boot camp" drug and alcohol program, according to Green County District Attorney Gary Luhman.

"If Green County were to issue a warrant, she would be kicked out of the program immediately because the warrant would increase her security risk," he said.

Rogers is scheduled to complete the boot camp in November. If she finishes successfully, she'll be released on parole and permitted to return to Wisconsin for a court appearance.

If she fails the program, she would have to serve more time in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Rogers has a status conference Dec. 4 on the felony counts in Green County of first-degree reckless injury.

Court records indicate she injected two women in their early 20s with heroin late Oct. 20 in the bathroom of a nightclub on County KK, just east of Monroe. The women were taken by ambulance to Monroe Clinic and revived.

Rogers was arrested about three weeks later at a motel in Monroe. She had not yet pleaded to the charges.
