OCEAN VIEW, DE - An Ocean View woman has been sentenced to 42 months behind bars for methamphetamine distribution, just over two months since her husband was sentenced for the same offense.
Melanie Mitchell, 35, of Ocean View, joined her husband Vincent Mitchell on monthly trips to Philadelphia to purchase meth and then sell it in the Ocean View area, the US Attorney for the District of Delaware David C. Weiss says.
“Far too many people and their families suffer from substance abuse,” Weiss said. “This sentence puts an end to the Mitchells’ drug distribution business. I commend the Ocean View Police Department and DEA for working together to keep our communities safe.”
Melanie Mitchell is to self-report to the designated prison on January 8th to begin her sentence. Vincent Mitchell was previously sentenced to 48 months behind bars in September.
