Mac Miller’s Alleged Drug Dealer Faces 20 Years In Prison
There are others who may be arrested, as well.
There has been a debate for years as to whether or not people who provide or sell drugs to overdose victims should be held responsible for subsequent deaths. According to NPR, U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna stated that “Fentanyl disguised as a genuine pharmaceutical is a killer. Drugs laced with cheap and potent fentanyl are increasingly common, and we owe it to the victims and their families to aggressively target the drug dealers that cause these overdose deaths.”
There are others who may also find themselves facing charges, but at the moment Pettit stands alone. If he’s found guilty, he faces up to 20 years behind bars.
