A Nesquehoning woman was sentenced to a state prison term on Tuesday afternoon after pleading guilty to five counts of drug dealing.

Alison K. Serfass, 35, entered pleas to five counts of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, all felonies, before Judge Steven R. Serfass.

Serfass immediately sentenced her to serve a total of 27 to 96 months in a state correctional institution.

She was arrested on the drug counts on Feb. 16, May 20, and Oct. 8, 2020, and April 23. She also pleaded to a July 17, 2020, retail theft count filed by Mahoning Township police for an incident at the Walmart store.

The Feb. 16 arrest was made by Lehighton police when she was selling heroin/fentanyl. The May 20 arrest was also made by Lehighton police for a sale along Route 443. The Oct. 8 arrest was filed by state police at Lehighton at the Country Inn and Suites along Interchange Road in Franklin Township.

Troopers said she was in a room at the inn with drugs and apparently with a male selling them. The April 23 arrest was also by state police at Lehighton following a traffic stop in which she was a passenger and found with heroin.

Defense attorney Matthew J. Mottola, of the public defender’s office, said all the arrests were because of her drug addiction problem. She is currently an inmate in the county prison on the charges.

She was also ordered to get a drug and alcohol evaluation, zero tolerance for drug or alcohol use, supply a DNA sample and pay court costs of about $1,000.

She was given credit for a total of 84 days already served.
