North Stonington woman pleads guilty to drug charge in federal court
A North Stonington woman pleaded guilty Wednesday in Bridgeport federal court to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.
Jill Mulligan, 43, waived her right to be indicted and pleaded guilty to the charge Wednesday, according to a news release by the U.S. attorney’s office.
The news release cited court documents and statements made in court that, in April and May, the FBI’s Northern Connecticut Gang Task Force made three controlled purchases of crystal meth from Mulligan. On May 4, court authorized searches of Mulligan’s North Stonington residence and her vehicle that revealed approximately 390 grams of crystal meth, and quantities of crack cocaine, LSD and prescription pills. Mulligan was arrested on that date.
Mulligan is released on a $100,000 bond pending sentencing on Jan. 24 by Judge Stefan R. Underhill. Mulligan faces a maximum imprisonment of 20 years.
