NORWICH – A Norwich woman who pleaded guilty to third degree criminal possession of a controlled substance in early November was sentenced to five years parole – with two years of post-release supervision – following a stretch at the Willard Drug Center.

Curissa Jenkins, 23, who was originally indicted on two counts of second degree criminal possession of a controlled substance – both class B felonies – in August, was accused of possessing narcotics with the intent to sell following an April 7 incident that took place in the Rexford Street Trailer Park. Jenkins, returning to court after a week-long furlough granted by Judge W. Howard Sullivan, tested clean of any illegal substances Monday.

The county’s district attorney’s office disagreed with Sullivan’s sentence, stating Jenkins had been given “ample opportunities” to change her ways, and requested she spend time in state prison.
