(BEDFORD) - A Bedford woman was sentenced to eight years in prison for dealing heroin.
Stacie Reed is one of five people who were arrested after the Lawrence County Drug Task Force and Bedford Police Swat Team raided a home in the 100 block of J Hunter Drive on June 14.
Lawrence County Superior Court Judge William Sleva sentenced 47-year-old Reed to 8 years in prison for dealing in a schedule I controlled substance within a 1,000 feet of a school with a credit for 250 days served, one year of electronic monitoring and one year of supervised probation.
She was then sentenced to three years in prison on a charge of neglect of a dependent. A six year-old child was at the home.
The sentences will run concurrently.
"We had information that there was a large amount of heroin and drug activity at the home," says Bedford Police Chief Dennis Parsley. "And the rest is history."
Officers found a substantial amount of heroin, drug paraphernalia involved with heroin, rock heroin, a small quantity of marijuana and paraphernalia involved with marijuana.
Parsley says because the house is near Parkview Intermediate those involved will be facing stiffer charges.
