I hope they keep her locked up for a couple of years, the house sold and the proceeds to help the victims that she probably has harmed over time. I’ll be watching for her from now own.

That is beat up from from the feet up tore up from the floor up check up from the neck up now if the DTF would find out her supply bust them then go sew on a so fourth tell you get to the head of the snake ,and chop it off it is one simple method ,but the DTF can’t SEEM to be able to figure that out .use the same
method to eliminate the meth plague ,and save countless lives ,and familys ,and it seems to me the law enforcement cant figure it out or dosent want to figure it out or they are to dumb or sacred to do there jobs to serve and protect .

Worry about yourself and how to be a good person getting her shit together. Save your excuses for the judge! No one on this site is going to feel sorry for DRUG DEALER. Yes however harsh this seems, I do wish you well on your recovery.good luck

The authorities should take her grandson away from her, her son and her grandsons mother. None of them should be allowed to have children in their custody or around them. They are all deplorable addicts.

She probably ratted someone or several someones out! Several people have told me that she is a snitch for the police and that’s why she gets arrested and let out within hours
