Brittney Rudolph

A Saxonburg woman charged with drug distribution pleaded guilty Tuesday to drug possession and was sentenced to probation in Butler County Court.

Brittney R. Rudolph, 34, was sentenced by President Judge Thomas Doerr to 12 months of probation with credit for time served.

She was also ordered to pay court costs, complete 40 hours of community service and undergo any counseling recommended by the Butler County Adult Probation Office.

Rudolph pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance before the sentence was handed down.

She was initially charged with felony possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, conspiracy, criminal use of a communications facility, misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. The remaining charges were dismissed as part of the plea.

Rudolph was charged alongside Marcellus S. Dumas, 39, an inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution in Beckley, W.Va., police said.

State police said the two sold four plastic bag corners of heroin during a $100 drug deal June 1, 2015, at Federal and Bredin streets in Butler.
