NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City drug dealer has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for providing "The Wire" actor Michael K. Williams with fentanyl-laced heroin, causing his death.
Irvin Cartagena was sentenced Friday by U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams. In April, he pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiring to distribute drugs in Manhattan.
Williams overdosed in his Brooklyn penthouse apartment in September 2021.
He died hours after authorities said he bought the heroin from Cartagena on a Brooklyn sidewalk in a deal recorded by a security camera.
Williams also starred in films and other TV series such as "Boardwalk Empire."
