HAZLETON -- A man from Luzerne County accused of giving his 10-year-old nephew Vicodin pills was sentenced to prison.

Richard Belusko, 42, of Hazleton was sentenced Tuesday to two years in prison.

In December, he pleaded no contest to child endangerment.

The boy was found unresponsive inside a home on Carson Street in Hazleton in March of 2015.

At the time, officers said Belusko gave his nephew two Vicodin pills because the boy was complaining about leg pain.
