Mom Cooks Meth Today, Food Tomorrow

On Thursday, Roxanne Halvorson, 38, of Grand Forks, North Dakota, reached a plea agreement of 2.5 years in prison and a supervised probation for being an accomplice to manufacturing meth, possessing drug paraphernalia and child endangerment. Her sentencing hearing is being held on June 16.
Last year, on November 15th, Halvorson let her nephew, Derik Ostlund, 20, and his girlfriend, Candy Reed, 33, cook and use methamphetamine in her duplex — while her children were home. A fire erupted, apparently caused by heated meth pipes. Nobody was hurt, but nine people, including four that lived above the duplex lost their homes in the blaze.
Reed was sentenced to 4 years in prison and 4 years supervised probation for making methamphetamine and reckless endangerment. Ostlund is scheduled to be sentenced May 27, facing the same charges.
