KANSAS CITY, Mo. – An Independence, Missouri, woman was sentenced in federal court today for her role in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine.

Sarah M. Davila, 34, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Greg Kays to 12 years and one month in federal prison without parole.

Davila, who pleaded guilty on Jan. 3, 2018, admitted that she sold methamphetamine to an undercover police officer on five separate occasions.
