LUDINGTON — A 27-year-old Manistee woman was sentenced in 51st Circuit Court Tuesday, Nov. 1, to serve six months up front of a one-year discretionary jail term with credit for 249 days served for a conviction of methamphetamine possession.
Kaylee Suzanne Davis is slated to be sentenced on a conviction of maintaining a meth lab in Manistee County next week, said Mason County Prosecutor Paul Spaniola.
A felony charge of operating a meth lab was dismissed in Mason County. Davis was arrested by the State, Sheriffs’, Chiefs’ Enforcement of Narcotics Team (SSCENT) last January on meth charges and one count of felony firearm, Spaniola said.
“l do struggle with substance abuse issues and hope to move forward,” Davis said to Judge Susan K. Sniegowski. Davis she hopes to one day help others struggling with drug addiction.
“You have a significant history dating back 13 years,” Sniegowski said. “You’re no longer a child, and you need to make some serious decisions. Meth is a very serious substance, and it just destroys lives.”
The judge also ordered two years probation and a driver’s license suspension for six months with a restricted license after 30 days. She also said Davis’ probation officer can refer her to outpatient or residential substance abuse treatment.
