JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A 34-year-old Jacksonville man received a 20-year prison sentence for dealing fentanyl that led to a woman's death by overdose, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said.
According to the DOJ, Larry Bouknight sold two Jacksonville women what they believed to be heroin in Sept. 2018. However, the drug actually contained fentanyl.
One of the women was found dead in her home later that day. The victim's cause of death was overdose due to the fentanyl's toxicity.
Bouknight pleaded guilty in federal court to selling the deadly drug on July 14, 2020. A federal judge sentenced him to 20 years in prison.
