Appanoose County woman sentenced to probation for drug transaction
A 28-year-old former Packwood woman arraigned in March of this year on a class C felony will serve three years probation with special conditions.
Charlet Nashay Knowles, who listed a Centerville address in court papers, entered a guilty plea Nov. 23 to one count of possession of a schedule II controlled substance with intent to deliver less than five grams of methamphetamine, a class C felony. According to court documents filed in January of this year, Knowles on Feb. 11, 2008 at 10:51 a.m. delivered approximately one-eighth of an ounce of meth to a confidential informant for $360. The drug transaction, which was conducted by members of the South Central Iowa Drug Task Force, occurred in the 1400 block of S. 18th Street in Centerville.
The same day Knowles entered her guilty plea, Judge Daniel P. Wilson accepted her plea and sentenced her to 10 years in state prison, suspended to probation with the Eighth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services conditioned on her future good behavior for three years. The judge imposed a $1,000 fine, 32 percent, a $10 D.A.R.E. and $125 law enforcement surcharge plus ordered her to pay the costs of prosecution and court-appointed attorney fees.
The judge imposed the special probation condition ordering her to abstain from alcohol and to not enter taverns, liquor stores or other places where the primary activity is the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Delivery of a schedule II controlled substance is a class C felony and the maximum prison term is not to exceed 10 years and at least a $1,000 fine but not more than $10,000.
