Counterfeit fentanyl pill distribution results in overdoses and death
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - U.S. District Judge Ralph R. Beistline sentenced Andre Ronell Brown to 14 years in prison with eight years’ supervised release for distributing counterfeit pills that contained fentanyl and resulted in the death of another person.
On October 26, 2020, Brown distributed two of these pills to a 21 year old victim, J.L, in Fairbanks. Two days later, J.L. was discovered deceased as a result of a drug overdose. The Medical Examiner confirmed the cause of death was fentanyl, which was contained in the pills that came from Brown. Brown had two alleged co-conspirators, Christopher Kearney, age 27, and Ladarius Edwards, age 27, who were each sentenced to five-years in jail for selling pills obtained from Brown which resulted in two non-fatal drug overdoses. An additional co-conspirator, Winston Crockett, pleaded guilty and is awaiting sentencing.
