PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A Uniontown man pleaded guilty Thursday to selling drugs to a man who overdosed and died.

The Office of the District Attorney says 32-year-old Myron M. Moore, of Uniontown, was charged with seven counts of drug activity in connection to a 2015 fatal heroin overdose.

Moore was accused of selling high-potency "raw" heroin on Feb. 17, 2015. A man in Robinson Township, Washington County, overdosed on the heroin and died.

Two days before his death, the man purchased cocaine from Moore.

Moore was sentenced to 5 to 10 years in prison. He will be sent to a state correctional facility.
