HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A Hutchinson woman who entered guilty pleas to five different drug counts will be sentenced Thursday morning in Reno County District Court. A sentencing hearing is set for 46-year-old Jennie Wallace before Judge Tim Chambers.
Wallace entered the guilty plea to possession of meth with intent to sell, conspiracy, and two additional counts of possession of meth with intent to distribute. She was also convicted of aggravated child endangerment. A count of possession of heroin was dismissed.
The most serious charges could mean a prison sentence of 11 to 17 years. The defense will get to ask for less time for Wallace at sentencing.
Wallace may still face federal charges stemming from a package that was intercepted by the U.S. Postal Service. The package, addressed to Wallace, contained six pounds of meth.
The hearing is set for 9 a.m.
