WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - Authorities say a Delaware man has been indicted for distributing drugs that resulted in the death of another person.

Delaware U.S. Attorney Charles Oberly III says 27-year-old Theophil Hollis of Newark faces a minimum mandatory sentence of 20-years in prison if convicted.

Oberly’s office says Hollis distributed a mixture and substance containing fentanyl, which resulted in someone’s death in September. Hollis also faces possession with intent to distribute drug charges.

It was not immediately clear if Hollis has an attorney.
