Woman gets 10 years for trafficking

A 44-year-old Carson City woman was sentenced Monday to 10 years in Nevada State Prison for distributing methamphetamine in Carson Valley.

District Judge Michael Gibbons sentenced Twila Leeling to 10 years on one count of trafficking in a controlled substance and five years in prison on a second charge to be served concurrently.

She must serve a minimum of 26 months to be eligible for parole.

Leeling was arrested in March along with four others in connection with a six-week sheriff's investigation into methamphetamine sales in Carson Valley.

Investigators purchased 83.2 grams of methamphetamine with a street value of $8,000.

Brad Bullion, 45, of Gardnerville was sentenced Monday to a suspended three-year sentence in Nevada State Prison for possession of controlled substance for sale. He was placed on three years probation.

Vehicles owned by Leeling and Bullion and used in the transactions were forfeited to the sheriff's office.
