April Meadows, the former police chief of Payne Springs, Texas, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for drug delivery and a concurrent two-year term for money laundering. Meadows pleaded guilty to the charges, which stemmed from her involvement in selling drugs previously seized by her department. She will receive 227 days of jail credit for time served and has forfeited her peace officer license as part of her plea agreement. Additionally, Reserve Officer Jonathan Hutchison, who was involved in the drug dealings, was sentenced to 20 years in prison earlier this month. In a related case, 76-year-old Roy Edsel Heifner Jr. received a 15-year federal sentence for distributing controlled substances, including fentanyl, and possessing a firearm as a felon. Heifner's criminal activities included selling drugs from his home and continued distribution even after being indicted for firearm possession.
