unlawful possession of a syringe. She pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a syringe, a Level 6 felony, on Thursday, August 3 in a negotiated plea agreement with the State of Indiana. She was sentenced
to 365 days in the IDOC and admitted to violating her probation.
As a result of her guilty plea, Judge Cline revoked McCowan’s suspended sentence and sentenced her to
644 days in the IDOC, and terminated the probation as unsuccessful.
The two sentences are to run consecutively.
