A 35-year old woman found guilty on two felony charges of distributing a controlled substance to a minor, was sentenced last week to 25-years in prison, but her sentence was then suspended. A judge ordered Karrie Elizabeth McCrea, of Guthrie Center, to instead be placed on three years probation for each count, to be served concurrently (at the same time). McCrea is also required to pay over $3,500 for legal assistance, court costs and other fees. She was ordered to obey a no contact order. All other charges in connection with her case were summarily dismissed.

On June 17th, McCrea gave her stepdaughter and another minor a marijuana joint and glass bong to smoke, during a sleepover. After a search warrant was executed June 28th, McCrea and her husband, 36-year-old Jordan Daniel Liggett, were taken into custody. Liggett was sentenced to probation in September.
