PAINTSVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Paintsville woman will spend the next 15 years in prison after being sentenced in Johnson Circuit Court on multiple drug trafficking and bail jumping charges.

 

Court records show Jessica Spradlin, 39, of the Banjo Branch area, was sentenced Jan. 9 by Johnson Circuit Judge John Kevin Holbrook.

 

Spradlin was convicted on three counts of first-degree trafficking in a controlled substance involving two grams or more of methamphetamine, first offense. She also faced three counts each of being a first-degree persistent felony offender and first-degree bail jumping.

 

The sentence followed a plea agreement recommended by the office of Johnson County Commonwealth’s Attorney David “Matt” Runyon. Under the terms of that agreement, all charges were addressed together, resulting in a total sentence of 15 years.

 

Following the sentencing hearing, Spradlin was taken into custody and lodged in the Big Sandy Regional Detention Center.
