A Crossville woman reportedly doing well in Kentucky pleaded guilty to a felony drug case in Criminal Court and stipulations of the plea will allow the defendant to continue the long-term in-house program where she is now on staff.
Amberly Nicole Hassler, 34, formerly of Lee Circle, pleaded guilty to possession of more than .5 grams of meth for sale and received an eight-year suspended sentence to be served on supervised probation.
The plea allows for Hassler’s supervised probation to be transferred to Kentucky where she has undergone the intensive treatment program.
Court costs and fine were waived.
The charge stems from an Aug. 18, 2024, arrest by Cumberland County Sheriff’s Deputy Ethan Wilson after more than .5 grams of meth and digital scales were found in her possession.
