SALISBURY — A woman charged in February alongside her father with trafficking black tar heroin received probation last month.
Sarah Katherine Moss, 23, was charged with felony trafficking heroin and pleaded guilty in late July to a lesser charge of felony possession with intent to manufacture, sell or deliver a controlled substance.
Authorities said Moss and her father, Jeffrey Scott Moss, 50, had black tar heroin and marijuana packaged for sale, illegal prescription pain pills, new and used syringes, baggies, scales and smoking pipes at their Enochville home.
The two also allowed a 7-year-old easy access to the marijuana, needles and drug paraphernalia, authorities said.
Rowan County Sheriff’s officials said at the time, they believed the Mosses allowed people to buy drugs at the home and use drugs at the home.
Sarah Moss received four to five months in the N.C. Department of Correction, which was suspended to a year of supervised probation.
She also pleaded guilty to misdemeanor contributing to the delinquency of a minor and possession of drug paraphernalia, which she received 18 months supervised probation.
