WORCESTER – Freiber Betancourth, a 30-year-old Worcester man, was sentenced in federal court today to 12 months and one day in prison today. His sentence also included three years of supervised release.

In June 2019 Betancourth plead guilty to one count of distributing fentanyl and heroin, as well as a conspiracy to distribute charge.

While working for a contractor for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and EZ Pass in Auburn, Betancourth sold drugs in the office and in the parking lot outside.

Betancourt obtained the drugs from Albeiro Gomez, who plead guilty to various drug charges on Nov. 25. He is scheduled to be sentenced on March 5.
