SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) - A Springfield man faces up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to federal heroin trafficking charges.
Luis Oppenheimer pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court in Springfield to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute heroin, and possession with intent to distribute and distribution of heroin.
Prosecutors say in October 2013 the 27-year-old Oppenheimer sold heroin to an undercover federal agent, accepting $400 in exchange for drugs after an accomplice handed heroin to the agent. The purchase was captured on video.
Oppenheimer’s accomplice, Jose Vargas, pleaded guilty to the same charges in March.
Oppenheimer is scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 20.
