(GREENSBURG, Ind.) -- A Decatur County woman was sentenced to 19 years in prison this week.

Stacy Hess pleaded guilty to Dealing in Methamphetamine on September 29.

Hess also admitted to being a Habitual Offender due to her criminal record.

“This conviction is the last in a series of interconnected dealing cases, taking down a spiderweb of people dealing poison into our community. Greensburg Police Department and the Decatur County Sheriff’s Department were both intimately involved in solving these cases, including Ms. Hess’s,” said Prosector Nate Harter.

Hess was sentenced to 19 years, with 13 years in prison and 6 on probation.

“Ms. Hess is going to have roughly a decade behind bars to think about her previous choices and what she might do differently in the future," Harter added.
