We’ll have to wait a little longer to find out the sentence for a Hutchinson woman arrested on drug charges after being caught shoplifting.
Apparently there was some problem with the pre-sentence investigation for Nicole McGinnis. She had entered pleas to possession of meth with intent to sell, possession of cocaine, marijuana, Hydrocodone and Oxycodine, drug paraphernalia, no tax stamp and misdemeanor theft.
The case starts with the report by an employee at the Dillon’s store at 206 West 5th about a black female leaving the business without paying for merchandise. Police were able to locate McGinnis and arrested her for the shoplifting, but then discovered she had what police consider a sellers quantity of methamphetamine and other drugs.
She does have another conviction also involving drugs.
Because of the problem with the pre-sentence investigation (PSI), the sentencing was moved to 3:30 p-m, next Monday afternoon.
