A Hempfield man was sentenced yesterday for selling drugs that were used in a 2020 fatal overdose.
The Trib reports that 54-year-old Rick Petros was ordered to serve four to eight years in jail, but was given credit for time already served. He pleaded no-contest to charges of drug delivery resulting in death and guilty to drug possession for the August 2020 overdose death of 48-year-old Eugene Matyonsky of New Alexandria. He was found unresponsive in his mother’s Hempfield Towers apartment building and died the next day at the hospital.
An autopsy showed that Matyonosky died from an overdose of heroin and fentanyl, police said.
