A New Iberia teen will spend a year and a half hard labor in the parish jail, for charges stemming from the death of 17-year old girl in whom he provided a fatal dose of fentanyl-laced heroin back in 2016 according to KATC reports.

16th Judicial District Court Judge Curtis Sigur handed down the sentence to Noah Sharpe, 19, on Friday. 

Sharpe, pleaded guilty earlier this year to one count each of distribution of Schedule II drugs, obstruction of justice and conspiracy to obstruct justice in the death of 17-year-old Makaylin Mendoza.

For each of the charges, Sigur handed down a six-month sentence of hard labor, with each of the sentences to run concurrently. He must pay a $5,000 fine, and he’ll serve three years of probation once released.

Sharpe met someone outside a gas station to buy the drugs, and the two injected them together one night in May 2016, according to a police report from the time. Mendoza never woke up.

Sigur also ordered Sharpe to write Altazan and Mendoza’s mother a “heartfelt” apology letter within 30 days.

Sharpe originally was arrested on a count of second-degree murder, but the Attorney General’s office prosecuted him on lesser charges. 

16th Judicial District Attorney Bo Duhé recused himself from the case because of a conflict.

Sharpe’s mother, Melissa Sharpe, originally was arrested on obstruction of justice in the case, but those charges were not prosecuted.
