A Carbon County woman admitted in the county court this week to having illegal substances in the county prison, leaving a rehabilitation facility before completing the program and not reporting back to the jail as ordered, and assaulting a man during a drug deal gone bad.

Alexis Marie Goldberg, 25, of Lansford, entered guilty pleas in three pending criminal matters before Judge Joseph J. Matika and was told she faced a prison term when she is sentenced at a later date.Goldberg admitted getting an illegal substance from another inmate at the prison and ingesting it. She pleaded to one count of possession of contraband in a prison. The inmate who brought the drugs into the prison was also charged. The incident occurred on Feb. 24.She also admitted assaulting James Kutchera in the area of 146 W. Patterson St. in Lansford. Borough police said the assault was the result of a drug deal gone bad when Goldberg and co-defendants were making a drug purchase and thought they were "shortchanged" in the transaction. That occurred on Jan. 30, 2014.She was furloughed from the county prison on Oct. 3, 2014, to enter a Salvation Army drug rehab program. The court order furloughing her stated if she left the facility before completing the program she had to report back to the prison immediately. She left the program but did not return to the prison and was later arrested on a warrant charging her with escape.Matika told Goldberg that under state sentencing guidelines, in the standard range, she faces a minimum prison term of nine to 16 months in prison on the contraband charge. He added, "That means it could be a state sentence." He also said the other charges also call for possible prison terms.Matika deferred sentencing and ordered the adult probation office to prepare a presentence investigation report.
