A Lansford woman who mailed heroin to the Carbon County Correctional Facility received a jail term after admitting her guilt.

Monica Sanchez, 39, of Lansford pleaded guilty to one count criminal use of a communication facility before Judge Roger Nanovic on Monday. She admitted to sending a package to the jail in late July containing 10 packets of heroin.

Guards found the drugs in the envelope addressed to Sanchez’s girlfriend, who was an inmate. The envelope was marked as documents for a custody battle, and there was a handwritten letter inside signed Monica.

The packets tested positive for fentanyl.

Sanchez’s attorney said that she was cooperative with authorities throughout their investigation.

Nanovic sentenced her to 1-2 years in jail, with credit for 90 days time served.

Other pleas

Also entering guilty pleas before Judge Nanovic:

Tyrell Lamont Suttle, 32, of Philadelphia, admitted to a count of tampering with evidence and one count of manufacturing weapons, both misdemeanors, for an incident in Nesquehoning on July 10. Suttle tried to hide a blackjack handgun from police after his girlfriend reported an assault.

Nanovic granted a request from Suttle’s lawyer, Josh Karoly, to delay his sentencing by 60 days because his girlfriend is nine months pregnant. Nanovic also changed Suttle’s bail so he could leave custody without posting his $500,000 bond.

On July 10, Police were called to an apartment where Suttle and his girlfriend were staying. While outside, they saw Suttle throw a blackjack handgun out of a window.

Karoly, said Suttle discarded the weapon because he “didn’t want a situation where someone potentially could have gotten hurt.”

Suttle’s girlfriend told the judge that she is nine months pregnant. She also said she was sorry she called 911 on the night that Suttle was arrested, because she did not believe she was in danger, and was also having a drug relapse.

Nanovic said the apology was not needed.

“It was him who discarded a weapon, it was him who possessed the blackjack,” Nanovic said.
