Tamra Lynn Goins, 40, of Arnold has been sentenced to six years in prison following felony drug convictions and a probation violation, according to court documents.
She pleaded guilty to three counts of possession of a controlled substance stemming from an October 2015 incident in Jefferson County and admitted to violating probation, which she was placed on in 2016 after being convicted of felony drug possession tied to a July 2013 incident in Jefferson County.
On July 18, Div. 4 Circuit Judge Brenda Stacey sentenced Goins to six years for each of the three possession charges from the 2015 incident. She also executed a four-year term she received for the 2013 incident. However, all the terms are to be served concurrently, or at the same time, court papers said.
Jefferson County assistant prosecuting attorney Lindsay E. Whalen handled the cases.
In October 2015, police went to Goins’ home in the Starling Community mobile home park in Arnold and found her with substances that tested positive for heroin and methamphetamine, along with items used to manufacture meth, according to the probable-cause statement in the case.
Goins currently is in the Chillicothe Correctional Center.
