Aaron Broussard was sentenced to life in prison for 11 deaths that were tied to controlled substances he sold. Those who died thought they were taking Adderall, but they actually ingested fentanyl.
Broussard"was repeatedly told to test his drugs, and he did not do so," the office said.
Instead, Broussard sold and sent the drugs to more than a dozen people who were expecting to receive a drug similar to Adderall from March 31 to April 27, 2016. Eleven people died and four others sustained serious bodily injuries after taking the fentanyl. The U.S. Attorney's Office said these people were not opiate users and therefore had no tolerance for the drugs provided by Broussard.
"Even after he learned that several customers had been hospitalized and nearly died, Broussard never warned his customers not to take the deadly drugs," the U.S. Attorney's Office said.When Senior U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson imposed the life sentence, she told Broussard,"Your disregard for human life is terrifying."
