A federal jury conviction is a finding of guilt on the counts tried. It is not a sentence until the court imposes one. The Justice Department said Decker prescribed Adderall and other stimulants through Done without examining patients, including people with substance-use disorders and serious mental-health diagnoses, and was paid more than $1 million for those prescriptions. He is the 11th defendant convicted in the Done Global scheme. Exposure ceilings stated by prosecutors are not the sentence.
On Friday, Oct. 2, 2026, the Justice Department announced that a federal jury in the Western District of Michigan convicted Jonathan Decker, 46, of Rockford, Michigan, of conspiracy to distribute controlled substances and six counts of distribution of controlled substances. The department said the counts arose from prescriptions for Adderall and other stimulants on the Done ADHD telemedicine platform. A sentencing date had not been set. A jury conviction is a finding of guilt. It is not the judgment of sentence until the court imposes one.
According to the Justice Department, Decker provided stimulant prescriptions without examining patients, including patients with substance-use disorders and significant mental-health diagnoses whose symptoms were worsened by the drugs. The department said he was paid more than $1 million for his prescriptions and that he is the 11th defendant convicted in a roughly $100 million drug-distribution and health-care-fraud scheme tied to California-based Done Global, Inc. Prior convictions in that case, as the department summarized them, include Done Global CEO Ruthia He and Clinical President David Brody.
The department said Done providers, including Decker, kept prescribing addictive stimulants to paying subscribers even after warnings about Adderall psychosis, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and other conditions. Examples in the release include a methamphetamine prescription to a patient with an active substance-use disorder and continued Adderall prescribing after a patient's mother reported a schizophrenia diagnosis. The department said that when pharmacies refused to fill Decker's stimulant prescriptions, he speculated in messages that running a meth lab seemed like a pretty good idea. Those are allegations and trial evidence as framed by prosecutors. The jury's guilty findings are the judgment on the counts tried. The department said Decker faces a statutory maximum of 140 years; that figure is exposure, not a sentence. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Tuscaloosa police charged Daronte Collins with felony murder after a Saturday apartment-complex shooting.
WBRC's jail photo is captioned Daronte Collins and puts both men at 22. The Tuscaloosa Thread, citing Violent Crimes Unit Lt. Michael Hall, spells the charged man Deronte and puts both at 20. Patch and the Calhoun Journal also use Daronte and 20. A felony-murder count, which the Thread and the Journal describe as Alabama's rule when someone dies during a robbery, is not a finding that Collins fired the shot that killed Tyson. The Thread says the 25-year-old has not been charged.

High Point police charged Kymberli Bowden with first-degree murder in her 13-year-old daughter's death.
The Oct. 8 release is a new murder count on a case the department charged in 2025 as felony child abuse and concealment of death. It is not a trial. The murder-charge release says she remains in jail with no bond. WXII reported a violent-offense hold and a $1 million bond on the older counts. The 2025 release listed her age as 44. The murder-charge release, WXII, and FOX 35 Orlando list 45.

Chicago police charged Chevazz Campbell in the stabbing death of CTA janitor Julian Mobley.
A detention hearing is the first court date. It is not a finding that Campbell stabbed anyone. The department's Sunday release says he robbed and fatally stabbed a 41-year-old man in the 2000 block of West Lake Street. ABC7 and CBS Chicago name that man as Julian Mobley and describe a fare dispute that turned into a stabbing. The department's charge list and CBS Chicago's shorter summary do not match count for count.
