SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) -- Two people accused of running a drug house in Sheboygan have taken plea deals in the case.
25-year-old Crystal Rothering pleaded no contest last week to maintaining a drug trafficking place and bail jumping, while numerous other counts were read into the record. A judge sentenced her to 2 and a half years in prison and three years extended supervision.
29-year-old Ryan Mandel has also reached a plea deal with prosecutors, and he'll be in court next month for sentencing in his case.
The two were arrested in the case back in February. Police say the two were selling heroin and other drugs out of their home. Officers had suspected that location was a drug trafficking place for some time, but it wasn't until after they made an arrest of a person who claimed to have bought drugs from the pair that they moved in for arrests.
When police searched the home, they say they found the equipment someone would need to sell drugs, as well as heroin in Mandel's possession.
Rothering allegedly told police it was Mandel who was selling the drugs, and that she wasn't selling drugs any more, despite conversations about selling drugs that they found on her cell phone.
They had been facing up to 30 years in prison on the charges.
