A Massachusetts man will spend 19 years in prison for selling fentanyl to a Maine man who died who of an overdose.
The Portland Press Herald writes 28-year-old Cameron Soto was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Portland.
Soto, who the judge described as a “professional drug dealer”, sold the fentanyl to 48-year-old Edward Rogers of St. George in March of 2017. Rogers died that evening.
Soto has been held in jail ever since he sold fentanyl to a police informant the day after Rogers’ death. He pleaded guilty in June of 2019 but his sentencing was delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions.
