Butler woman sentenced to time served for theft, drug delivery
A Butler woman on Thursday was sentenced to time already served in the county prison in relation to three cases, which included drug delivery and theft charges.
Tara L. Hockenberry, 25, was sentenced to three to six months in Butler County Prison, 12 months probation, $500 in fines and restitution. With time served, she was to be paroled immediately.
Hockenberry previously pleaded guilty on Aug. 19 to felony possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, misdemeanor false identification to law enforcement, misdemeanor retail theft and summary driving on a suspended license.
The charges stem from incidents between 2014 and 2017. The felony drug delivery charge was a result of an incident on Oct. 7, 2014, when state police vice unit troopers said she sold heroin and crack cocaine to a police informant on Broad Street at State Street in Butler.
A full report will appear in the Butler Eagle.
