A Bucks County judge sentenced to state prison on Tuesday, Dec. 19, 2023, for selling a counterfeit prescription pill laced with Fentanyl that led to a woman’s overdose death in Bristol Township last year.

Shakur Ali Brisbon, 25, of the 1200 block of Neshaminy Valley Drive, pleaded guilty last month to drug delivery resulting in death. On Tuesday, Common Pleas Judge Raymond F. McHugh accepted the negotiated sentence of 7 ½ to 21 years in state prison.

Prior to sentencing, McHugh heard victim impact statements from the relatives of 23-year-old Olivia Seaberg who died from a drug overdose on Nov. 24, 2022.

“The loss of my sunshine left an immeasurable void in my life that can never be filled,” her mother told the judge.

Seaberg’s brother, sister and niece also appeared before McHugh to describe the pain and suffering they’ve endured since her death, which came just before the start of the festive holiday season. “My little sister was sold two pills laced with fentanyl on the eve of Thanksgiving and one of them killed her,” her sister said.  

This investigation began after Bristol Township police were dispatched at 3:55 a.m. on Nov. 24, 2022, to an apartment in the 6900 block of Bristol-Emelie Road for a report of a woman who was not breathing.  Upon arrival, Bristol Township officers located Seaberg on the floor of the residence, and she was later declared deceased.

During the investigation, police located a blue pill next to where Seaberg was located, along with an empty prescription pill bottle that was recovered from the nightstand. They also recovered Seaberg’s cellphone. A forensic search of the phone led to the discovery of a social media conversation she had with someone, later identified as Brisbon, about buying oxycodone prescription tablets.

The blue pill recovered from Seaberg’s residence was tested and a lab report confirmed it contained Fentanyl, along with other substances. The Bucks County Coroner’s Office confirmed that Seaberg’s death was caused by Fentanyl Toxicity. 

This case was investigated by the Bristol Township Police Department and was prosecuted by Chief Deputy District Attorney Edward M. Louka.
