The son of a former Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Cartlon Haserlig was ordered to serve up to 16 years in prison for the attempted sale of raw fentanyl to undercover officers in the Ligonier area.
Cortez Marcell Haselrig, 27, of Johnstown pleaded guilty to four felony drug counts in connection with what authorities in court documents described as a four-month multi-county investigation into allegations of drug trafficking, according to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Investigators described Haselrig as an upper-level drug dealer and said in court documents that he was a major supplier of fentanyl in Westmoreland County.
Carlton Haselrig, who played for the Steelers from 1989-1993, died in July 2020 from liver cirrhosis. He was 54.

Former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger threw shade at the Browns when discussing the Steelers’ Week 11 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on his Footbahlin podcast. The Steelers have won eight of their last nine games against Baltimore, but Roethlisberger still thinks it’s a respectable rivalry, unlike Cleveland.
