A 33-year-old man who admitted to trafficking cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl is the final person convicted in a massive drug ring run out of Worcester County.  Pedro Villot-Santiago, of Fitchburg, pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute one kilogram or more of heroin, 400 grams or more of fentanyl, 280 grams or more of crack, and 500 grams or more of cocaine, the US Attorney for  Massachusetts said.  A fatal fentanyl overdose in September 2018 sparked a police investigation that unraveled a massive conspiracy to bring large amounts of the synthetic opioid into central Massachusetts.
