A guy has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for supplying fentanyl-laced counterfeit prescription tablets to Mac Miller.
Ryan Michael Reavis, 39, was one of three men charged in 2018 for a musician’s death. On November 30, 2021, he pleaded guilty to one count of fentanyl distribution.
According to The Guardian, he has been condemned to nearly 11 years in prison. This tablet is suspected to have been the cause of Mac Miller’s (American rapper and record producer) death in 2018. Miller died after ingesting a lethal dose of fentanyl – a substance estimated to be 50 times more potent than heroin – which can be fatal when coupled with other drugs. Miller’s autopsy revealed that he had overdosed on fentanyl, cocaine, and alcohol by accident.
According to court records, Reavis was sentenced to ten years and eleven months in jail by a judge in a US district court in Los Angeles. Prosecutors, however, petitioned Judge Otis Wright II for a reduced sentence of 12 years and seven months.
Reavis was sentenced to 131 months in prison (10 years, 11 months) and will serve a three-year supervised release. Reavis’ lawyers characterized him as a “runner” who was unaware the tablets contained a deadly amount of fentanyl.
Investigators probing the rapper’s death discovered earlier communications indicating that Reavis continued to sell the drugs, dubbed fake blues, despite the fact that “people have been dying left and right.” Dealers frequently mix medications with fentanyl to increase the strength of the product while keeping expenses low.
Reavis acknowledged procuring prescription pills laced with the highly addictive substance from a man named Stephen Walter. Reavis then placed them in the care of a third co-defendant, Cameron Pettit, in Los Angeles on Walter’s orders.
” Mac Miller was loved and admired by so many” law specialist Cori Ferrentino stated. Mr Reavis is fully aware that he will be able to return to his family, but Mac Miller will not.”
