WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - A Delaware man has been sentenced to more than seven years behind bars for knowingly selling heroin with an “extra risk” to a woman who later died.
Multiple media outlets report that the U.S. Attorney’s Office said 58-year-old James Goodwyn of Wilmington, also known as “Wali Bey,” and another person sold heroin to a young woman who overdosed and died in November 2016.
Authorities say the woman’s body was taken by wheelbarrow and car to Edgemoor, where it was dumped.
