AUSTIN (KXAN) — A Hays County woman was sentenced on Tuesday for possession with intent to deliver methamphetamine, according to the Hays County District Attorney Kelly Higgins’ Office.
According to a press release from the DA’s office, 30-year-old Breana Nicole Smith was found guilty by a jury on March 13 and sentenced by a judge to 20 years in prison.
At trial, evidence showed that Smith was also a member of a criminal street gang. Smith also had previously committed aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the release said.
