Carlos Allen, 33, was sentenced to more than 100 years in prison without the possibility of parole.
Allen was convicted in February 2021 of selling fentanyl, trafficking fentanyl, possession of hydrocodone and possession of amphetamine. Allen is a habitual offender, prosecutors said.
During his arrest, police found over 150 pills laced with fentanyl. Now, prosecutors are hoping the sentencing sends a message.

Courts should not be sending messages. Just hold people accountable for their crimes and stop the grandstanding.

I'm fine with this. Not like he was selling weed, he was selling deadly stuff.

That is excessive. Hopefully over-turned and a resentencing takes place.
