(EAST ST. LOUIS, IL) — A Randolph County woman was sentenced Monday for methamphetamine and heroin offenses. Acting U.S. Attorney James Porter says 61-year-old Paula L. Summers of Percy, who had previously pled guilty to two-count indictment charging conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine and conspiracy to distribute heroin, was sentenced to 109 months in federal prison, to be followed by 3 years of supervised release and fined $400. Evidence at the plea and sentencing hearings established that Summers was involved with others in distributing both heroin and methamphetamine, in the form of “ice.” Ice is methamphetamine which has a purity level of at least 80 percent. Summers and others made multiple trips to St. Louis to obtain dealer amounts of heroin. Summers also distributed large amounts of ice and heroin from her Percy home. At sentencing, the judge found that Summers was responsible for the distribution of over 450 grams of ice and 27 grams of heroin. The offenses occurred between 2013 and June of last year in Perry, Jackson, and Randolph counties. Seven co-defendants have previously been sentenced for their role in the drug conspiracies.
