“Career drug dealer” from Pennsylvania whose fentanyl led to death of 5-year-old girl sentenced to prison
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A “career drug dealer” from Western Pennsylvania whose fentanyl supply led to the death of a 5-year-old girl was sentenced to prison time in connection with the incident, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office said.
Albert Spicer, of Cambria County, will serve 13 to 30 years in prison for his latest drug-trafficking offense, which led to the death of 5-year-old Alaia Young in 2022. The attorney general’s office said in a news release that the 36-year-old man was sentenced after previously pleading guilty to possession with intent to deliver and other related charges.
Spicer had at least six previous drug-dealing convictions, the attorney general’s office said. Cambria County Judge Norman A. Krumenacker said Spicer is a “career drug dealer” who sold fentanyl, which is causing “death and destruction in communities everywhere.”
The 36-year-old Cambria County man was one of three people charged following Young’s death. Authorities said Spiecer supplied fentanyl/heroin to the girl’s mother. The 5-year-old girl ingested the drugs and fatally overdosed at home.
“This defendant is the stem that caused an unthinkable tragedy — the death of a purely innocent 5-year-old girl,” Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry said in Wednesday’s news release. “His drug trafficking days have lasted long enough, and this sentence will ensure it will be many years before he can possibly pose another risk to society.”
Volaura Askew, Young’s mother, previously pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter and other related charges. She is currently in state prison.

Hundreds of stuffed toys to find home through Holiday Wish Program
Bright Lights is back in WellSpan Park
York Revolution’s Bright Nights opens Thursday, Nov. 20 and runs Thursday thru Sunday until Dec. 28.
The state Department of Human Services’ Holiday Wish Program got a boost after the donation of more than 1,000 stuffed toys.
Those stuffed toys are samples of those for sale in Pennsylvania that were deemed safe for children this past year by the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry following routine safety inspections.
The samples are accumulated by the department throughout the year and then marked for distribution through the state Department of Human Services’ Holiday Wish Program.
“This annual tradition reminds us of what public service is truly about: protecting people’s safety while spreading hope and joy to families across Pennsylvania,” said Labor and Industry Secretary Nancy A. Walker. “In times that can feel especially heavy, small acts of generosity can make a big difference.”

Under state law, Labor and Industry’s Bureau of Occupational and Industrial Safety must inspect all new stuffed toy samples for contents, choking hazards, and general safety.
Toys that pass inspection get a registration number, which is on every stuffed toy sold in the commonwealth.

Through this process, Labor and Industry accumulates hundreds of toy samples each year. This year, the department delivered a record 1,085 stuffed toys to the Department of Human Services DHS for its Holiday Wish program — a 45 percent increase from last year’s 749 donated.
Of the donated toys, more than 50 are made of recycled materials. Last year, Gov. Josh Shapiro signed an updated Stuffed Toy Manufacturing Act, eliminating a long-standing ban on using recycled materials in stuffed toys sold in the commonwealth.
Started in 1989 by Department of Human Services employees, the Holiday Wish program has grown to include hundreds of employees in various state agencies, allowing the program to reach thousands of individuals in need around Pennsylvania during the holiday season.
