A onetime star basketball player from Monessen who won a scholarship to play in college will spend the next eight years in federal prison for dealing drugs that killed a man.

Jalen Madison, 24, was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court for his role in a conspiracy to deal heroin and fentanyl between 2013 and 2016. Madison admitted in the fall to dealing and to causing the overdose death of John Brooks Watkins on Aug. 22, 2015.

U.S. District Judge Joy Flowers Conti said Madison had been “playing with death” in selling drugs.

He is awaiting trial in Westmoreland County on assault charges.

Madison was a standout basketball player at Monessen High School. After graduating in 2012, he had a scholarship to play at Keystone College in Scranton but lost it after some “setbacks,” his lawyer said.
