A Warminster Township man was sentenced on Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2023, to serve 3 ½ years to 7 years in state prison after overdosing on heroin while caring for his 2-year-old daughter.

Justin W. Kearns, 36, was convicted by a Bucks County jury in October of felony child endangerment. Common Pleas Judge Raymond F. McHugh sentenced him to a statutory maximum sentence of 3 ½ years to 7 years in state prison.
