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.

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 .
I got caught up in something it went out of control
I will pay the price I am sure
Judge me that’s fine
People who are committing shouldn’t throw stones exspecially living in glass houses
Taking care of the kids business while they are locked up????!!! Helping out your son in law???!!!
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
I thought it went out of control wayyyyy before Jessie died. Karma is a bitch
Wow out of jail already
Mogtx, are you really shocked that she’s already out? Prop 36 sucks!
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.
Yes dee it does suck wtf i wonder if she had to bail out if, so how much ? maybe she got no bail ,and got OR free and clear .
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
