After serving his sentence, he will be under supervised release for four years. The sentencing took place on April 10, 2024, by United States Senior District Judge Arthur J. Schwab.

Assistant United States Attorney Nicole Stockey represented the government in the prosecution. This shows that the United States Attorney’s Office is dedicated to fighting against the spread of drugs. United States Attorney Eric G. Olshan commended the teamwork between the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Castle Shannon Police Department, which played a crucial role in apprehending Hunsinger.
