A Hillsboro woman was sentenced to a total of 48 months in prison for two counts of aggravated trafficking of methamphetamine to the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville, during a hearing in Highland County Common Pleas Court.
Sarah Workman, 22, was sentenced to 24 months for an amended count of aggravated trafficking in methamphetamine, a third-degree felony, which was ordered to be consecutive to a sentence of 24 months for the second count of aggravated trafficking in methamphetamine, also a third-degree felony. Workman was also given one day of jail-time credit.
Court records stated that factors in the sentencing were that the offenses were felony drug offenses that were in violation of Chapter 2925 for which a presumption in favor of a prison sentence was specified as being applicable and that the most serious offense for which Workman was being sentenced were not felonies of the fourth or fifth degree.
