Amber Coyle will spend the next 24 months as an inmate in the Marysville’s Ohio Reformatory for Women following sentencing Wednesday for her part in smuggling methamphetamine with another man into the Highland County Justice Center on Feb. 7.
The 37-year old New Vienna woman received 49 days credit on her sentence for time already served.
Coyle was sentenced in Highland County Common Pleas Court in connection with an incident where she conspired with Joshua Clark, 32, Hillsboro, in hiding a container of meth beneath a water fountain at the sheriff’s office lobby so inmate workers could deliver it to Jesse Bushatz, 24, Hillsboro, who was incarcerated at the time.
Both men were later convicted on May 1, 2019, with Clark receiving 18 months prison time and 84 days credit for time served, and Bushatz sentenced to one year imprisonment and a time served credit of 42 days.
They are both incarcerated at the Corrections Reception Center in Orient.
The only other individual facing jail time among six others who were sentenced Wednesday was Kyle Smith, 31, Leesburg, who was convicted of aggravated possession of methamphetamine.
Smith will spend the next two years in prison with 55 days credit for time already served.
