Garrett was charged with: a Class B felony-level controlled substance violation; one count of failure to affix a drug tax stamp, a Class D felony; as well as possession of marijuana second offense, a serious misdemeanor. Garrett recently entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors, pleading guilty to one count of possession with the intent to deliver meth, a Class C felony, as well as possession of a controlled substance third offense, a Class D felony.

Prosecutors are recommending a total of a ten-year suspended prison sentence and three years probation when she’s sentenced on June 9th in Cerro Gordo County District Court.
