Jessica Vaughn Hale, 27, 32 Dawn Ct., pleaded guilty in Criminal Court Feb. 13 to promotion of the manufacture of methamphetamine and attempt to initiate the process to manufacture meth and received two- and six-year sentences which were conditionally suspended.

Hale is to enroll in a rehabilitation program in Buffalo Valley by the end of this week and must complete the rehab program to be eligible for the total of six years to be served on probation.
