SAN ANGELO – A Tom Green County Jury earlier this week sentenced a San Angelo woman to prison after she took a meth possession charge to a jury trial.
According to court documents, on Dec. 5, the jury trial of the State of Texas vs Kathryn Reyes began. The trial was for possession of a controlled substance.
It was alleged that on Sep. 5, 2020 Reyes had .39 grams of methamphetamine hidden in a pack of cigarettes in her car. Reyes' car was searched after police spotted a digital scale commonly used to weigh illegal drugs with drug residue in plain sight during a traffic stop.
The jury deliberated for just over an hour and on Dec. 6 Reyes was found guilty. The following day the court reconvened and the punishment phase began. This time it took the jury around three hours to decide Reyes' punishment.
At around 3 p.m. the jury announced that for the crime Reyes would spend three years in prison and would then have to pay a $3,000 fine.
Reyes has submitted a motion for a new trial.
