We've received a lot of reaction and comments about the story we told you about of a 93 year old Pitt County woman who plead guilty to possession and selling cocaine.
Like you we wanted to know why she did it. We spoke with Helen Ttaylor over the phone and to her grandson, Robert Taylor.
He refused an on camera interview with his grandmother but spoke out about the charges. He claimes authorities unfair charged her with selling the drug and that other people in the home may have dropped the drugs on her back porch leaving his grandmother responsible. Authorities tell us they witnessed Helen Taylor kicking the drugs out the back door. Robert say his grandmother had no reason to sell dope.
Authorities disagree with robert claims and say they caught her red handing kicking drugs out the back door.
Original Story:
A 93-year-old woman will spend the next three years on probation for possessing cocaine.
Helen Taylor made the plea deal in Pitt County court yesterday.
Deputies say they arrested the woman back in 2005 after finding 15 units of crack cocaine in her home. She was originally indicted charges of possession with intent to deliver cocaine and maintaining a dwelling for distribution of a controlled substance.
The judge gave the woman unsupervised probation instead of sending her to prison for the next six to eight months.
