Mary Boring

A Butler woman, charged with two others for distributing drugs out of a home near the city police station, pleaded guilty in Butler County Court on Wednesday.

Mary P. Boring, 28, pleaded guilty to two felony counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and one count of conspiracy before Judge Timothy McCune.

The plea agreement calls for a sentence of six to 18 months in county jail. She is scheduled for sentencing on Sept. 28.

Boring was initially charged with three counts of felony possession with intent, one felony count of conspiracy, two misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance, one count of possession of marijuana and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia, which were dismissed as part of the plea.

She was charged alongside Thomas L. Tillman, 29, of Philadelphia and Jennifer E. Thomas, 27, of Butler after an incident in the 200 block of North Washington Street between April 18 and May 4.

Following investigation of alleged drug activity, officers executed a search warrant and found between 230 and 240 bags of suspected heroin, 22 individually packaged rocks of crack, a small amount of marijuana, drug paraphernalia including a scale and 70 to 80 syringes, $187 in currency, and two cell phones during the joint operation by county narcotics officers and city police, police said.

Authorities suspect Tillman and Thomas were dealing drugs out of one of three apartments at the two-story house. Boring, whose boyfriend is the sole tenant, is accused of allowing them there to deal.

Boring continues to be held in the Butler County Prison on $100,000 bail pending sentencing.

Tillman continues to be held on $150,000, and Thomas on $100,000, pending further court proceedings.
