A woman charged with dealing methamphetamine in Kosciusko County in 2022 was sentenced to 12 years in prison in a Kosciusko Circuit courtroom.

Amber Ragsdale, 27, of Elkhart, also received two years suspended on probation for charges of dealing methamphetamine, a Level 2 felony. 

The charges stem from an investigation by Child Protective Services. In September 2021, CPS had requested police for a home visit where an 18-year-old had been having seizure-like symptoms and tested for amphetamines on a toxicology screen. 

When a search warrant was obtained by the NET 43 Drug Task Force, several individuals, including Ragsdale, were arrested. Messages and information obtained from Ragsdale's phone pointed to evidence related to drug dealing. 

According to court documents, during Ragsdale's sentencing she apologized to the court for her actions and promised that she would participate in a recovery program in the future. 

Ragdale's sentence will be served back-to-back with a drug possession case against her in Elkhart County.
