Two California men were sentenced Jan. 13 to federal prison after prosecutors say they supplied fentanyl-laced pills to a drug trafficking ring that sold them to more than 1,000 people on the dark web.

Adan Ruiz, 27, of Garden Grove, was sentenced by the U.S. District Judge David Carter in Los Angeles to 17 years and 11 months in federal prison Monday.
