they're going to need a new cummings wing on the prison.
PUTNAM COUNTY, Fla. -- A woman accused of being involved in a prescription drug operation with Ronald and Misty Cummings was sentenced Tuesday morning.
Hope Sykes, a cousin of Ronald Cummings, received a minimum mandatory sentence of 15 years in prison after pleading no contest to a drug trafficking charge. She also faces $250,000 in fines.
The prosecution played an audio recording in court of a jail conversation Sykes had with her mother. They claimed it proved her lack of remorse for the crime.
"You know, I fucked up," Sykes told her mother in the call. "I'm not going to boot camp. I'm telling you what, they think I'm bad now, wait 'til I get out of that. ... I ain't getting no 15 years, mandatory or nothing. They can kiss my ass."
that certainly impressed the judge.
