In February 2024, a Los Angeles County man who admitted supplying fentanyl that caused two deaths on consecutive days in Redondo Beach hotel rooms was sentenced to 26 years in federal prison.

William V. Fulton, 40, of Torrance, was also ordered by U.S. District Judge Dale S. Fischer to pay $12,385 in restitution.

Fulton pleaded guilty in July to a federal charge of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and admitted supplying fentanyl to two fatal overdose victims.

Fulton was named in a five-count indictment filed in May 2021 that accuses him of drug charges and being a felon in possession of ammunition.

Fulton admitted supplying fentanyl on Oct. 10, 2020, to a person who died, and acknowledged doing the same thing a day later at another hotel where a second person died after ingesting the drug.
