Christopher Huggett also admitted knowing several people had overdosed -- and that some had died -- after using the pills, but continued distributing them throughout Western Colorado.
– A Colorado man has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for the distribution of fentanyl resulting in death. Christopher Huggett, 30, of Grand Junction, admitted he knew he was selling pills that appeared to be Oxycodone but actually contained fentanyl. Huggett also admitted knowing several people had overdosed — and that some had died — after using the pills, but continued distributing them throughout Western Colorado.
According to prosecutors, on Dec. 28, 2017, a victim identified only as J.E. took “a portion of one of the pills” obtained through Huggett, and an associate named Bruce Holder, lost consciousness and died. Another person who allegedly consumed part of a pill also lost consciousness but was revived.
