A Foley woman was sentenced to 141 months for methamphetamine trafficking, the U.S. Department of Justice says.

Theresa Louisa Border pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute methamphetamine. The sentence was handed down by United States District Court Judge Callie V. Granade.

According to a news release, documents filed with the guilty plea established that over approximately an eight-month period in 2020, Border purchased over 100 ounces of methamphetamine from a co-conspirator. Border also contributed money for the purchase of one kilogram of methamphetamine by the same co-conspirator, but the kilogram of methamphetamine was seized by law enforcement before Border could receive her share.

After the source of supply for the one kilogram was arrested, Border cultivated another source of supply in Pensacola, Florida. Border dealt with this source for more than a year until her arrest in January 2022. During this one-year period, Border purchased one ounce of methamphetamine per week from the source.

Border was arrested by Baldwin County Sheriff’s Deputies after purchasing four ounces of methamphetamine from the source of supply. On this occasion, Border and three of her drug associates put their money together to purchase the four ounces that were seized. The three friends who contributed to the purchase included a co-defendant, Heidi Norful.

This case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney George F. May.
