Jail time given on meth charge

ESCANABA — A Calumet woman, charged with possession of meth, was sentenced to nine months in jail and two years probation in Delta County Circuit Court recently.

Ashley Paige Reilly, 21, of 57249 3rd Street, Calumet, pleaded guilty to one count of controlled substance – possession of meth/ecstasy.

She was sentenced to nine months in jail and credited 225 days already served.

Reilly will be placed on probation for two years. Her driver’s license will be suspended for 30 days and restricted for 150 days.

According to the Delta County Prosecutor’s Office, on July 8, 2019, officers from Escanaba Public Safety Department were called to Walmart’s parking lot for two people asleep in a vehicle with a child in the back seat.

Upon arrival, officers attempted to wake up the driver, Reilly, and the passenger. In opening the door, officers immediately observed a large plastic baggy containing a crystal-like substance.

A subsequent test of the substance showed positive presence of meth.

The prosecutor’s office said the child was unharmed.

Reilly was ordered to pay $1,148 in fines and costs.
