Federal judge sentences Evansville men for fentanyl pill manufacturing scheme
EVANSVILLE — More than two years after a grand jury indicted two Evansville men for manufacturing and selling thousands of counterfeit prescription pills containing fentanyl, a judge sentenced the pair this month to serve a combined 11 years in federal prison.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Indiana identified the men as Ethan Parker, 31, and Joshua Harvey, 33, both of whom were arrested by Evansville police in April 2022 and initially charged in state court before federal prosecutors took up the case.
U.S. Attorney John E. Childress, whose office announced the sentences Tuesday, said the men valued 'profits far more than the lives of our families and neighbors,' and he vowed that federal law enforcement would hold fentanyl dealers to account for 'pushing deadly poison' into Hoosier communities.
