Woman sentenced in marijuana operation
A Petrolia woman was sentenced to county jail in Butler County Court on Thursday, after an alleged home invasion revealed a drug operation in her house.
Savannah M. Blust, 24, was sentenced to six to 12 months in Butler County Prison, followed by 36 months probation, a $500 fine and court costs by country Judge Timothy McCune.
McCune also permitted her probation to be transferred to Westmoreland County.
Blust previously pleaded guilty to felony possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance on Oct. 18.
She was initially charged alongside her boyfriend, Macklin C. Haye, 24, after an alleged home invasion on June 8 at the couples' home on the 300 block of Petrolia Road revealed that the two were selling marijuana and manufacturing THC wax.
Following the execution of a search warrant, two pounds of processed marijuana, $67,928 in currency, as well as psychedelic mushrooms and an assortment of drug contraband were found in the house, police said.
Police said the three men charged in the home invasion targeted the couple for proceeds from their drug business.
