A Luzerne County man was sentenced to 20 years in prison after selling fentanyl to a man who overdosed and almost died, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Joshua Ward, 28, of Luzerne County, was sentenced Nov. 5 for distributing fentanyl that resulted in serious bodily injury. According to the DOJ, Ward made the person sniff the fentanyl during the deal to prove they weren’t a law enforcement informant. The person was then taken to the hospital for their overdose.
