A pair of Berkeley brothers have pleaded guilty in a San Francisco federal court to charges they sold fentanyl in the city’s Tenderloin District.

Juan Carlos Hernandez-Ordonez, 18, pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal charge of distributing 40 grams or more of fentanyl.

David Ordonez, 20, pleaded guilty in the same case on Sept. 15 to two charges, including conspiring with Hernandez-Ordonez to distribute fentanyl.

Both defendants remain in custody pending their sentencing hearings. Each count carries a maximum penalty of 40 years imprisonment.
