A Carbon County woman entered guilty pleas on Monday in Carbon County court in two pending cases to drug charges and was sentenced to a state prison term.

Tara Lynn Hertzog, 37, of Nesquehoning, pleaded to one count each of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance.

President Judge Roger N. Nanovic accepted the pleas and sentenced her to serve a total of 24 months to six years in a state correctional institution.

She was charged with the PWID count on Jan. 18 by Nesquehoning police. Police were conducting an ongoing investigation of a residence along East Railroad Street where drug dealing and overdoses were occurring.

Police executed a search warrant and found various drugs in the home, which Hertzog admitted were hers. She admitted selling heroin/fentanyl at the location.

The second arrest occurred on April 2, also by Nesquehoning police. Officers responded to area of West Catawissa Street for a woman in a vehicle under the influence. On scene officers found Hertzog in possession of Suboxone.

Hertzog is currently an inmate at the state prison in Muncy, Lycoming County, serving a 21- to 60-month term imposed earlier this year by Judge Steven R. Serfass on drug charges.

Nanovic said his term would run concurrent with that sentence.

Hertzog was also ordered to get a drug and alcohol evaluation and supply a DNA sample.

She was given credit for 78 days already served on the charges.
