Johnston pleads not guilty to drug charges
Edited on Mon Jan-05-09 06:01 PM by RamboLiberal
Source: Anchorage Daily News

PALMER -- Sherry Johnston pleaded not guilty to the drug charges against her today.

A Palmer grand jury on Friday indicted her on six felony counts of misconduct involving a controlled substance relating to possession and sale of the prescription painkiller OxyContin.

She admitted selling OxyContin pills to someone working with investigators, according to state troopers. They arrested her Dec. 18 at her Wasilla home, then released her on bail.

Johnston showed up alone for her first appearance in Palmer court this morning -- no lawyer, no friends or family to support her.

Johnston asked for and received a public defender, a lawyer paid for by the state. She told Palmer Superior Court Judge Beverly Cutler that she is in the midst of a divorce and living on medical disability payments and child support.

Johnston, 42, is the mother of Levi Johnston, the Wasilla teen who made headlines in September after Gov. Sarah Palin announced daughter Bristol Palin was pregnant and he was the father.

13. Sure he does. She is living on child support.
Levi is underage, she must be getting child support for him. Now that he has his own kid, does she get compound interest off that?

I can just imagine what's going through Sarah's fiendish little mind.

14. Happens all the time
If the confession was not in the presence of a lawyer or signed, it's worthless.
