FARGO, N.D. (AP) - A Wisconsin man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for selling heroin that led to three overdoses, including one fatality, in the Fargo-Moorhead area.
Twenty-eight-year-old Jovan Harris of Milwaukee was sentenced this week on multiple federal drug charges, including possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance resulting in death and serious bodily injury.
Authorities say Harris was indicted after an investigation into a spike in heroin overdose deaths in the Fargo-Moorhead area between September 2015 and April 2016. Harris was specifically charged in the September 2015 overdose death of one man in Moorhead, Minnesota, and the non-fatal overdoses of two people in Fargo.
