Christopher Hill, Selling Fentanyl, Pennsylvania 2016

Pennsylvania Man Sentenced to 10 Years for Selling Fentanyl

A tragic case of fentanyl trafficking has come to a close in Pennsylvania. On July 21, 2016, 32-year-old Christopher Hill sold fentanyl to an unsuspecting individual, who later died from an overdose.

The devastating consequences of Hill’s actions caught up with him in federal court. Senior United States District Judge Joy Flowers Conti handed down a 10-year prison sentence, bringing an end to the investigation that was led by the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police.

Assistant United States Attorney Barbara K. Doolittle prosecuted the case, working tirelessly to ensure that justice was served. The sentence imposed on Hill serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of fentanyl and the importance of holding those responsible accountable for their actions.

The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police was commended by Acting United States Attorney Stephen R. Kaufman for their role in the investigation, which ultimately led to the successful prosecution of Christopher Hill.

Hill’s actions on that fateful day in 2016 had far-reaching consequences, and his sentence serves as a warning to those who would engage in similar activities. The sale of fentanyl is a serious crime that can have deadly consequences, and those who engage in it will be held accountable.

The sentencing of Christopher Hill is a testament to the dedication and hard work of law enforcement agencies and prosecutors who are committed to keeping our communities safe from the scourge of fentanyl and other illicit substances.
