A North Braddock man pleaded guilty in federal court this week to supplying drugs that led to a fatal overdose, prosecutors said.
Demiyr Johnson, 21, pleaded guilty to a charge of possession with intent to distribute and distribution of a substance containing heroin and fentanyl, U.S. Attorney Scott W. Brady said.
On March 30, 2016, Johnson gave a mixture of heroin and fentanyl to an individual who later redistributed the substance to another individual identified by prosecutors as J.W. The latter person used the substance and died from an overdose, prosecutors said.
Johnson’s sentencing is set for Feb. 21. The court ordered that he remain detained.
He faces up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $1 million.
