Sentenced to Prison in New Jersey

The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office says Brandie Howerton, 52, of Atlantic City, was sentenced this week to serve six years in prison for Maintaining a Narcotics Production Facility. That's a first degree felony.

Back in December of 2024, the Atlantic City Police Department's Special Investigations Section conducted a search warrant at Howerton's home in Atlantic City. There, they found a marijuana growing operation, and a narcotics production facility.

Prosecutors say Howerton had pleaded guilty to the charge and agreed to a negotiated settlement of the case.
