A Nacogdoches woman pleaded guilty Thursday to dealing Meth near drug free school zones of elementary schools.
Glenda Hanna was sentenced to 15 years in prison. Investigators said Hanna was using a home jewelry business as a front for selling Meth. The woman has a record of bail jumping and failure to appear and that past history played a factor in Thursday's plea agreement, according to prosecutors.
"The bottom line is because of her prior conviction the range of punishment in this case, if we had gone to a jury, would be 15-99 years or life," said Stephanie Stephens, special prosecutor.
"Just a situation you try to do the best you can and get something that is agreeable to everyone. Stephanie ultimately offered what was a minimal plea bargain on the case," said Noel Cooper, defense attorney.
Hanna's husband, Marc, is currently serving a 5 year probated sentence for possession of a controlled substance. One other note, Glenda Hanna is receiving medical attention following the discovery of a non-cancerous tumor in her breast.
