BENNINGTON, Vt. (AP) - A Vermont woman who prosecutors say ran an illegal drug operation with her husband won’t serve jail time after pleading guilty to two felony charges.
The Bennington Banner reports (https://bit.ly/2njv4xK ) that Rachel Briggs was given a five-year deferred sentence this week under a plea deal with prosecutors. The 44-year-old Briggs pleaded guilty in Bennington to the sale of one pound or more of marijuana and the manufacture/cultivation of a regulated drug.
Prosecutors say authorities searched a Bennington home last fall and seized marijuana, prescription pills, firearms, marijuana edibles and a concentrated form of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana.

Prosecutors say they believe the operation belonged to Briggs’ husband, Devin Briggs. He pleaded not guilty to drug charges in September.
