BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Fredonia man was sentenced to serve 11 years and three months in prison after selling drugs that led to the fatal overdose of a man in 2022, the United State's Attorney's Office announced Tuesday. John Wallace Buchanan, 38, was convicted of narcotics conspiracy and pleaded guilty in May of last year. He is also ordered to pay $8,570 in restitution to the family of the victim, identified as B.G. Officials said Buchanan sold heroin, which he admitted frequently contained fentanyl and methamphetamine, and used social media for selling and engaging in illegal 'firearms activities.'
