A Spokane man, Jacob Cotton, is convicted for distributing fentanyl pills that led to the overdose deaths of two men in Skagway, Alaska. Cotton faces charges of conspiracy and distribution resulting in death after a five-day trial. Prosecutors allege Cotton mailed the deadly pills through the U.S. Postal Service, which arrived in Skagway between January 11th and 12th, 2023. Both victims died within days of the shipments arrival. Investigators found sixty-two pills hidden in a computer tower during a search of the distributors home. Cotton now faces a mandatory minimum of twenty years in prison on each count, potentially up to life.
