Judge cites Minnesota OD deaths in sentencing two heroin dealers

The leader of a southern Minnesota heroin conspiracy linked to two overdose deaths last year was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison this week alongside a half-brother, who also participated in the drug ring.

In imposing the sentences, Senior U.S. District Judge Michael Davis told one of the men that "you were selling poison … and it caused death."
