Hensley pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and two counts of trafficking in heroin, court officials said.
Other charges, including corrupting another with drugs, were dropped as part of the plea agreement. Judge Stephen Wolaver sentenced Hensley to serve six years in prison, officials said.
Prosecutor Stephen Haller said Hensley was “in it to make money,” and had sold a combination of fentanyl and heroin to the fatal victim, 45-year-old Mark Cantrell.
