FAYETTEVILLE -- A Hot Springs woman was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison Wednesday for drug possession.
Michelle Friedman, 38, was convicted of possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
Agents with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration learned n January that Friedman was selling methamphetamine from a hotel room in Fayetteville, according to court records. The agents contacted Friedman's supervising parole officer and learned she had an active arrest warrant for absconding supervision and had an active search waiver on file.
DEA agents and her parole officer located Friedman in her hotel room. Officers found a box and a flashlight that contained methamphetamine as well as a digital scale.
A federal grand jury indicted Friedman in March, and she entered a guilty plea in June.
