PITTSBURGH - A resident of Hopewell Township, Pa., has been
sentenced in federal court to 7 years’ imprisonment on his conviction of
distribution of fentanyl, which he acknowledged caused the death of a victim
identified as L.K., United States Attorney Scott W. Brady announced today.
United States District Judge Nora Barry Fischer imposed the
sentence on Corey Bargerstock, 43.
According to information presented to the court, on July 6,
2016, Bargerstock sold stamp bags of fentanyl to L.K., which caused L.K. to
fatally overdose.
Prior to imposing sentence, Judge Fischer stated that the
sentence was sufficient but not greater than necessary to fulfill the goals of
sentencing.
Assistant United States Attorneys Tonya Sulia Goodman and
Timothy Lanni prosecuted this case on behalf of the government.
United States Attorney Brady commended the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, the Beaver County District Attorney’s Office Detectives Bureau,
and the Hopewell Township Police Department for the investigation leading to
the successful prosecution of Bargerstock.
