CAMDEN — An Egg Harbor Township man faces at least two decades in prison after pleading guilty in federal court Wednesday to helping distribute heroin.

Both counts carry a mandatory minimum 10-year prison term and maximum life sentences.

They also carry a maximum $10 million fine or twice the gross gain or loss from the offense caused, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
