Grand Forks Man Sentenced in Overdose Death Cases

A 20-year-old Grand Forks man is sentenced for his role in a case involving numerous overdoses.

Ryan Jensen was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

He pleaded guilty last year to five counts that included distributing a controlled substance resulting in injury and death, and money laundering.

Authorities say two people died and three others became sick from the synthetic drug powdered fentanyl obtained by Jensen and others.
