Woman sentenced
CLEVELAND
A 35-year-old Youngstown woman was sentenced last week to four years and two months in federal prison for conspiring to distribute cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana between 2006 and 2010.
Tremaine Mabry drew the sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Lesley Wells after entering a guilty plea.
Mabry obtained from New York City suppliers large drug shipments, which were distributed in the Youngstown area, the U.S. attorney said.
She was one of 28 people charged in a 101-count indictment in a case that resulted in one of Ohio’s largest methamphetamine seizures, the FBI said.
OVI checkpoint
North Jackson
The Mahoning County Operating a Vehicle Impaired Task Force conducted a vehicle checkpoint in Jackson Township on Mahoning Avenue between Lipkey Road and the Meander Reservior on Saturday night.
Passing through the checkpoint were 444 vehicles, and 17 were diverted for further investigation. Of those, six people were arrested — three for OVI, one for driving under suspension, one for drug paraphernalia and one for carrying a concealed weapon.
Six others were given written citations — two for driving without a license, and one each for no seat belt, driving without a motorcycle endorsement, illegal window tint and failure to transfer registration. One person was issued a summons for possession of marijuana.
