A North Texas woman has been sentenced to 51 months in federal prison for smuggling methamphetamine through the mail, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Texas.
Amanda Lynn Mollison, 29, of Allen, Texas, pleaded guilty on May 3, 2017 to providing contraband in prison. Her accomplice, Justin Chadwick Brown, 39, of Grand Prairie, Texas, pleaded guilty on May 4, 2017, to possession of contraband in prison.
According to investigators, on October 11, 2016, Mollison sent Brown a greeting card soaked in methamphetamine through the mail to the Collin County Jail where Brown was being held. Officials with the Collin County Sheriff’s Office tested the greeting card and found it to be positive for the presence of methamphetamine.
Between September 30, 2016 and October 5, 2016, Brown requested that Mollison send him the greeting card containing methamphetamine, according to recorded phone calls between the two.
Mollison and Brown were indicted by a federal grand jury on February 9, 2017.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the Collin County Sheriff’s Office, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tracey M. Batson.
Both defendants will serve 51 months in federal prison, as ordered by U.S. District Judge Marcia A. Crone.
