- U.S. District Judge David Barlow sentenced Bryan Walter McMahan, 41, to 204 months in federal prison.
- The court imposed three years of supervised release and ordered $8,888.74 in restitution to the victim’s family.
- Prosecutors say McMahan mailed at least four pills on Oct. 7, 2023; the package arrived Oct. 10, and the woman was found dead the next day in Layton.
- Investigators found an envelope with McMahan’s name beside the body and three blue pills later confirmed to contain fentanyl.
- The DEA and Layton City Police investigated, officials warned that counterfeit pills can be lethal, and prosecutors said McMahan changed his plea during the case.
