A Wapakoneta woman was sentenced to four years in prison Tuesday in the Auglaize County Common Pleas Court for her involvement in the 2014 murder of Charles Hicks of Uniopolis.
Sarah McPheron, 27, pleaded guilty to one charge of involuntary manslaughter, a first-degree felony, on Oct. 27, 2015.
According to both the prosecutors and defense counsel, McPheron cooperated with the Auglaize County Sheriff's Office during their investigation of Hicks' murder.
Common Pleas Court Judge Frederick Pepple noted that McPheron did cooperate with law enforcement and helped with the investigation, but he ultimately concluded that a sentence was warranted according to sentencing statutes and after taking into account that she was under supervision for a felony at the time of the offense.
