A Luzerne County man was sentenced to 20 years in prison for selling fentanyl to a man who overdosed and nearly died, according to the US Department of Justice.
Joshua Ward, 28, of Luzerne County, was sentenced on November 5 for distributing fentanyl that resulted in serious bodily injury.
According to the DOJ, Ward forced the victim to sniff the fentanyl during the transaction to verify they were not a law enforcement informant. The person was then transported to the hospital for an overdose.
