41-year-old Billie Wlasniewski of Pine Street in Wellsville was accused by police of selling heroin to an undercover cop in Wellsville. As you would expect, she got arrested and was charged with weighty crimes to include 3rd degree criminal sale and possession of a controlled substance (not good), follow by conspiracy.
Billie served 105 days in the Allegany County Jail. Seems as if everybody thought that was enough. An unnamed county judge sentenced her to time served, plus five years probation, a court surcharge, etc..
I'm not sure this 'punishment' represents an actual deterrent to drug pushers or those who deal...but, it is what it is. This site, and most of you, are not presented with the whole court report, history, etc. Typically, prosecutors rely on that info for a recommendation.
