Bath Salts Suspect Sentenced

A bath salts kingpin with ties to Marquette, Baraga, Houghton and Ontonagon counties has been sentenced to 137 months in federal prison. 56-year-old Scott Bernard Will of Mass City was given the 11-and-a-half-year term Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Marquette, where he was found guilty of distributing and conspiring to distribute alpha-PVP and pentylone last December. Two other accomplices who pled guilty and testified for the government during the trial were also sentenced. 34-year-old Derrick John Guzek also of Mass City, and 31-year-old Kristen Ellen Bergeron of Pelkie received terms of 16 and 18 months in prison. Will, Guzek and Bergeron were arrested in April 2013 after an undercover officer made numerous purchases of alpha-PVP and pentylone in Baraga and Houghton counties.
