A Washington county woman who authorities say supplied marijuana to another woman's 15 year old son learned her fate in court Friday.

Elizabeth Chambers will spend 6 months at the Marysville Correction Center for Women for corrupting another with drugs.

She pleaded guilty to the charge last month.

Chambers was arrested in April along with her roommate, Tina Gray. Authorities say they were supplying Gray's 15-year-old son with marijuana.

This is really really pathetic.She should be behind bars as long as the others that have been sentenced.I dont think she intended for this girl to die but others are being sentenced up to 12 years for their responsibility in the deaths of others. rosejenifar washington drug rehab

Supplying drugs to teenagers should come with a lot stiffer sentence. There are too many drugs in schools. There are way too many children with drug addiction. As a parent, I fear each day that I send my son to school that he may cave in to the pressure of the drug scene. If people were not selling it to the children then they would have a lot more difficult time getting them. And parents, lock up your medications. If this happened then less teens would be addicted, suicidal and endagering themselves behind the wheel of a car.

Oh and to answer your pro-pot questions: 1. 1 year in prison, 1 year in rehab, and 1 year probation 2. A large "faction" in California are, yea. 3. I would rather him say "No" to drugs... plain as day. Say it with me now... "No no no... no means no." To be fair, I'm even more irate with the lack of justice towards sex offenders and other violent criminals... I mean, picking up our trash and driving our school buses? How about trash pickup... in prison!

National attention... let's see, first off, Patrick Slider and his warrant with the FBI. Second, the many unsolved crimes (especially with murder) by WCSO... oh and if you stepped outside the box (WC) you'd find people who call this place a "drive-through" County, or be like me, and have relatives from various states send me news about the County and State's run-ins with preventing minor rights to convicts and permitting rights that would allow them to continue convicting (such as the right to life). I've lived here for 20 years if we're going to compare childish rubbish.

null.... Well I guess you think Washington County is bad, well then its a good thing you dont live in Ohio guess you better stay in WV where things happen like this all the time..... I figure that 15 yoa has smoked a lot of pot already and other stuff and 6 months will do her goos in jail. Do you really think we need to lock her up and throw away the key, thats just what the tax payers need to take care of her... Well maybe someday you will be in trouble and they will lock you up and throw away the key

Hey riiight it sounds to me like he was with a drug dealer.Why dont you read the laws

Marijuana is a stepping stone to other drugs. 6 months is nothing. He will get into bigger messes and be in and out of court with our tax money paying for rehab and free lawyers. How about taking the kid off his mother and make an example out of her. As far as him hanging in drug places and dealing with drug dealers well that is exactly what i view his mom to be his home is a drug house. Enough said. People prove they can not drink and drive responsible so lets give them another drug to harm people and themselves and make the rest of us pay for it.

OK, what national attention is Washington Co. swimming in? Because I've lived there for about 10 years now and I'm not aware of some major news in my own county?! Yeah she should get in trouble. So how much time sounds reasonable to you? You are aware that a large faction of this country, including politicians, are proponents of marijuana, right? I'm not saying it was right to give a 15 y.o. pot, but if he's already using it... Would you rather him be hanging out at the drug dealers house himself? Where he could be in danger of physical violence, criminal proscecution, and exposed to countless other extremely more harmful narcotics? Pick and choose your battles people. This isn't a big one. 6 months sounds reasonable.

6 months.....hmm, glad to know we take child welfare seriously.
Posted by: null and Location: void on Sep 5, 2008 at 11:01 AM
Washington Co sure has its problems. With 6 months, this tells citizens, "Hey, it;s ok to distribute pot to kids. We, Wash Co, who has enough national attention and problems anyway, allow kids to have pot. We encourage it, and hey, we'll put you in prison for only 6 months, especially a special one. Oh, and thank you for all the money we earned from your future drug rehab and everything else. Wash Co... where all the criminals live."
