A Sullivan County man is facing nearly a decade in prison for selling fentanyl.

Jacob McCoy, 50, was found guilty after a three-day trial.

Officials say McCoy has three prior felony convictions.

Last May, he was also accused of selling fentanyl that led to the death of 16-month-old Akaasha Luvert, who was exposed to the drug in a Liberty motel room.

McCoy faces up to nine years in prison. He will be sentenced in September.
