LEXINGTON, Ky. — A Floyd County woman has received a minimum sentence for a federal conspiracy charge after she was found with nearly half a pound of meth.

Stephanie Hall, 33, of Maytown, pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to distribute more than 50 grams of meth.

That charge carries a potential sentence of between five and 40 years in prison. In Lexington federal court on Thursday, she was sentenced to five years.

Hall was arrested May 3, 2024, following a traffic stop at McDowell, during which a state trooper found 215 grams of meth in a bag at her feet. Both Hall and her passenger, Briana Hope Hunter, 31, of McDowell, denied knowledge of the drugs, so both were arrested and were later indicted in federal court.

Hunter has also pleaded guilty to the same charge. She will be sentenced June 25 in Lexington.
