A New Haven woman is headed to prison in Indiana for dealing meth in Posey County. 37-year-old Kelli Hale appeared in Posey County Circuit Court Wednesday where she was sentenced to 10 years after pleading guilty to a Level 2 Felony of Dealing Methamphetamine. She was pulled over by Mt. Vernon, Indiana Police on March 10th of this year for not using a turn signal and subsequently found in possession of a smoking pipe and more than 35 grams of meth under her seat.
Hale was arrested in Gallatin County back in March of 2024 on charges of Possession of Meth and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. There were numerous delays in her case in Illinois which led to her being out and able to commit the crime that landed her in Posey County Jail in March of this year. She’s been in jail in Posey County since her arrest there and will be taken to the Indiana Department of Corrections to serve her sentence. She’s got a Status Hearing scheduled in Gallatin County for her case here set for November 17th.
