GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) _ The ex-roommate of a North Dakota man

accused of making synthetic drugs that killed two people has been

sentenced to prison for his role in the crime.

24-year-old William Fox, of Grand Forks, has been sentenced to four

year in prison for distributing the synthetic hallucinogens

allegedly made by his roommate, Andrew Spofford. Fox faced up to 30

years in prison.

Several other people facing charges in the case are set to be

sentenced next week.

Police say 18-year-old Christian Bjerk, of Grand Forks, and

17-year-old Elijah Stai, of Park Rapids, Minn., died of apparent

drug overdoses from the hallucinogens. Authorities say at least

five others were hospitalized with overdoses.
