A three-year sentence was handed down Tuesday in Bartholomew Superior Court 1 for a Jackson County woman who drove a vehicle on a trip that led to the death of a Columbus resident.
But Tiffany Marie Sculley, 35, of Brownstown will not be going to prison. Judge James Worton ordered that Sculley’s sentence be suspended to probation, with the first year served in a Community Corrections program.
Sculley pleaded guilty Jan. 22 to aiding, inducing or causing the dealing of a narcotic drug as a Level 5 felony. The felony charge was in connection with the July 8, 2022 death of Ronald Lee Smith, 37, of Columbus.
Bartholomew County Prosecutor Lindsey Holden-Kay said the sole aggravating circumstance was that Sculley was involved in a crime that resulted in death. The prosecutor told the judge the state only wanted to ensure that Sculley has access to addiction therapy if needed.
