 | Calling fentanyl a cross-Canada scourge, a judge sent two dealers of the deadly opioid to the penitentiary for extended terms. "Its abuse has reached epidemic proportions," Justice Michael Epstein said. "It has taken a terrible toll on the lives of those who abuse it and has resulted in hundreds of deaths."
Epstein sent Richard Shevalier, 47, to prison for eight years and Alexandra Clark, 31, for 43 months. Shevalier and Clark were found guilty of possession of fentanyl and meth for the purpose of trafficking and possession of heroin and cocaine. |
