A Zanesville woman charged in connection to a long-term drug investigation is sentenced in Common Pleas Court.
Vada McQueary will spend a minimum of 4 years in prison and a maximum sentence of 6 years in prison. McQueary must also forfeit her property at 617 Brighton Boulevard and will have a mandatory post release control of 2-5 years.
McQueary plead guilty to one count engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, permitting drug abuse and money laundering in June of last year.
Authorities say the investigation began in 2019 when members of the Muskingum County/Zanesville City Joint Drug Unit found out about a group of individuals from Columbus who had moved to the Zanesville area with the intention to sell methamphetamine and fentanyl.
Approximately 30 pounds of methamphetamine and more than 2 pounds of fentanyl were seized during the investigation along with 13 firearms and $9,000 in cash.
