A Carbon County woman was sentenced to a county jail term on Tuesday after previously admitting to drug dealing.

Deborah Murray, 39, of Jim Thorpe, was sentenced by President Judge Roger N. Nanovic II to serve nine to 18 months followed by two years of probation, on a charge of delivery of a controlled substance.Murray was arrested by agents of the state attorney general's office after she sold 45 Percocet tablets to an undercover agent. The sale occurred on Dec. 20, 2010, in the area of North Second and Coal streets in Lehighton.Murray's case has taken some time to come through the court system with 17 continuances filed in the case.Murray's previous attorney argued her continuing health problems would prevent her from being incarcerated. However, a report by the adult probation office indicate that Murray does have health issues, but those issues would not prevent her from serving a local or state prison term.Her new attorney, Paul Levy of the public defenders office, said his client now realizes she must serve a prison term and asked the court to keep her in the county prison.Nanovic rejected a request by the defendant to let her start her prison term in January 2015 because of family concerns. Nanovic said Murray had a "substantial" break when the AG's office agreed to let her plead to the one drug count and also agreed not to file charges concerning another alleged sale of drugs she was involved in.In addition to the jail term, Murray was ordered to pay a fine of $2,500, get a drug and alcohol evaluation and follow any recommendation for treatment, and supply a DNA sample.She will begin the jail term at 4 p.m. on Nov. 28.False IDDaniel J. Snyder, 28, of Palmerton, was sentenced on a charge of false identification to law enforcement officers, to which he previously entered a guilty plea.Nanovic sentenced him to time served (130 days) to one year.Snyder was arrested on June 21 in the area of 817 Franklin Ave. by Palmerton police. Police responded to the area for a report of an unwanted person. Snyder was the suspect.Nanovic also ordered Snyder to get both a D&A and mental health evaluations, and zero tolerance on D&A use.Each defendant must also pay court costs, which average about $1,000, and pay a $50 per month supervision fee while on probation or parole.
