(Beave Dam) A Beaver Dam woman who failed to stay out of trouble while on a plea agreement for a drug conviction was given prison time Thursday. Amanda Westover will spend the next year-and-a-half behind bars on a felony charge of Possession of Methamphetamine.
A Beaver Dam police officer executed a search warrant on a trailer in the township last October and took Westover into custody. She took ownership of the marijuana that has found by authorities in her bedroom but denied knowing anything about the meth that was located right next to it.
The 39-year-old was convicted but was placed into a deferred prosecution agreement as well as ordered into the county’s drug court program. The agreement required she not commit any new crimes while on two years’ probation. Westover was found to have violated the agreement and was sentenced to prison as well as placed on two years of extended supervision.
Dodge County District Attorney Kurt Klomberg says the drug court program has successfully helped many people through their addictions, but some participants are just not ready to embrace recovery.
