A Tamaqua woman who twice sold powerful narcotic painkillers will spend up to two years in state prison.
Sally J. Hartung, 48, was charged by borough police with two counts each of delivery of a controlled substance, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, criminal use of a communication facility and possession of a controlled substance after she was caught selling Vicodin on Nov. 6, 2013, and on April 24, 2014.
Schuylkill County Judge Charles M. Miller sentenced Hartung, who has pleaded guilty in June, to one to two years in state prison.
He sentenced her to six to 12 months on each of the manufacturing charges; and to 30 to 60 days on the communication facility charges and six to 12 months on the possession charges, to be served concurrently with the manufacturing sentence.
Hartung will serve the time after she is released from the Gadsden Correctional Facility in Florida on March 11, 2019.
She was charged in Live Oak, Suwannee County, Florida, on April 6, 2016, with trafficking methamphetamine.
