Our local drug dealer pleaded: nolo contendere to:
2 counts for possession for sale of controlled substance 11379(a)
2 counts for sale of a controlled substance (11378)
1 count for maintaing a place for selling a controlled substance (11366)
5 counts of Commission of a felony after release (while on probation) (12022.1(b) )
1 count of Aid by Misrepresentation (welfare fraud) 10980(c)(2)
1 count related to welfare fraud 801.5
We all have a feeling that nothing is going to happen to her. She has been out on bond for almost 3 years and is still dealing, etc.
This is a very dangerous person.

"Our local drug dealer"? So it's come to that eh?
Dealing drugs is part of a culture that includes violence, other criminal activity and social costs to non-drug dealing citizens. The usual approaches to addressing the drug problem all over America has been to engage law enforcement in a primarily punitive role. The result has been business is good! For both the penal systems and the overall drug culture.
In fact business is so good, that a smart dealer can break the law and remain out of jail continuing to break the law for years at a time because he or she keeps a profile that's low enough to make them a low priority to the penal system, which is at it's capacity population-wise.
Ergo; your local drug dealer will probably stay on the streets until the penal system can make some room for her, as long as she doesn't commit a violent (gun charge) crime. And if she works it right and hires the right attorney, drops a dime on somebody bigger than her, she could work a deal and either get probation (again) or a very short stay in the county lockup. (Vacation)
It's sad, but the reality is that what our conveyor-belt penal system has wrought .

What part of stupid are you from? I wasn't on the straight and narrow for YEARS. You're "friend" is a snitch! How many other people have been busted? Nobody gets off that smooth. My friend got caught dealing on state property 3 times, but got out in a year. You can visit his site at ........R.I.P. morgue.com. Another friend has 3 down and 1 and 1/2 more on a 6 yr. for some assault. You do the math. DUH!

She will get serious time for those offenses, unfortunately the courts are sometimes slow --- but her day will surely come and she will face the consequences of her actions.
She may well get arrested for more crimes whiles she still out on bond and engaging in criminal activities.
Rest assured that the cops are watching her and will take her down soon.
