A Big Laurel woman was sentenced in Harlan Circuit Court on Thursday to eight years in prison on drug charges.

Brenda Gail Turner, 54, was sentenced to seven years in one case on one count of first-degree trafficking a controlled substance and two counts of second-degree trafficking a controlled substance.

In her second indictment, she was sentenced to one year in prison on charges of second-degree possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Both cases will run consecutively for a total of eight years in prison.

In other court action:

n Lacey Napier, 19, of Loyall, was sentenced to five years in prison after her pre-trial diversion was voided. Her charges included third-degree arson and two counts of first-degree criminal mischief.

Alred said Napier admitted to illegal drug use. It was also noted that she failed to pay her restitution as ordered on March 11.
