Mary P. Boring

A Butler woman, charged with two others for distributing drugs out of a home near the city police station, was sentenced to county prison in Butler County Court on Thursday.

Mary P. Boring, 28, was sentenced to 12 to 36 months in Butler County Prison by Judge Timothy McCune.

She was charged along with Thomas L. Tillman, 29, of Philadelphia, and Jennifer E. Thomas, 27, of Butler, following an investigation of drug activity at her apartment on North Washington Street between April 18 and May 4.

Following a search warrant of the residence, 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 were found, 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 to deal there.

A full report will appear in the Butler Eagle.
