A woman has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for drug dealing after an arrest last year in Columbus.
According to the Bartholomew County Prosecutor’s Office, Nicole Hernandez was convicted of the felony charge of dealing methamphetamine last month. She has been sentenced by Judge Kelly Benjamin to 10 years in prison to be served in the Indiana Department of Corrections.
The charges stemmed from an incident in March of last year, when Columbus Police and Bartholomew County deputies were conducting an operation and witnessed Hernandez deal 10 grams of meth and one gram of heroin.
The prosecutor’s office announced the sentencing yesterday.
