Dealer sentenced to 10 years for selling drugs that caused actor Michael K. Williams' death

Irvin Cartagena, the Brooklyn drug dealer who sold fentanyl-laced heroin to "The Wire" actor Michael K. Williams, resulting in his death, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. Cartagena was captured on surveillance footage handing the drugs to Williams the day before the actor was found dead. He pleaded guilty to conspiring to distribute heroin and fentanyl. Three other dealers involved in the case have also pleaded guilty. One of them, Carlos Macci, received a lenient sentence after "The Wire" co-creator David Simon asked the judge for mercy, citing Williams' opposition to mass incarceration and the war on drugs.
