HARRISBURG — Attorney General Michelle Henry announced that an Armstrong County man will serve 25 to 50 years in prison for providing a fatal dose of fentanyl-laced cocaine that killed another man in 2020.
Nathan R. Wolfe, 41, of Kittanning, was convicted at trial in July of third-degree murder, drug delivery resulting in death, aggravated assault, involuntary manslaughter, and related offenses.
Wolfe provided 43-year-old Eric McMillen with crack cocaine (laced with fentanyl) in exchange for the use of McMillen’s vehicle.
“The defendant showed a complete disregard for human life when he provided these drugs — which he knew contained fentanyl — to the victim,” Attorney General Henry said. “This case is a tragic example of how drug trafficking takes lives, causes heartbreak for families, and forever impacts communities.”
Wolfe distributed the fentanyl-laced cocaine to others, which police determined caused at least two other non-fatal overdoses. The defendant was also found guilty of delivering the same drugs to those two individuals on the same day in February of 2020.
The case was prosecuted by Senior Deputy Attorney General Evan Lowry and Deputy Attorney General Daniel Gleixner.
