WARSAW — A Cromwell woman can serve a four-year sentence locally for two drug cases.
Jenna Renee Heiman, 38, 11194 N. Honeycomb Lane, Cromwell, was charged with dealing methamphetamine, a level 4 felony. She was also charged with possession of methamphetamine, a level 6 felony, in a second case. Four additional criminal charges were all dismissed as part of a plea agreement.
Heiman was sentenced in Kosciusko Circuit Court on Monday, March 6.
For dealing methamphetamine, Kosciusko Circuit Court Judge Michael Reed sentenced Heiman to three years in the Indiana Department of Correction. She also received a one-year sentence at the Kosciusko County Jail for methamphetamine possession, with the entirety of the sentence suspended on probation. Both counts will be served consecutively.
In total, Heiman received a four-year sentence, with three years executed and one year suspended on probation.
Reed said the DOC commitment will be suspended if Heiman participates in either the Kosciusko County work release or community corrections programs. However, he said the first two years of Heiman’s executed sentence has to be served in work release.
Heiman must pay $80 in restitution to the NET43 Drug Task Force. She will also report to KCJ on Friday, March 10, for execution of her sentence.
At sentencing, Defense Attorney Seth Tipton said Heiman was extremely amenable to community corrections or probation.
“She made very, very poor decisions as a result of her addiction,” said Tipton.
Sometime in April 2022, NET43 purchased 1.7 grams of meth from Heiman.
On April 12, 2022, a Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Office deputy pulled over a speeding vehicle and identified its driver as Heiman. A K9 unit at the scene alerted to drugs in the vehicle and the deputy found a cut straw containing methamphetamine.
