SMETHPORT — A Bradford woman who was accused of making methamphetamine with her boyfriend pleaded guilty on Thursday.
Teresa Y. Doner, 45, entered a plea Thursday in McKean County Court to charges of conspiracy to possess a precursor substance with the intent to manufacture a controlled substance and conspiracy to risk catastrophe.
Doner made the plea before President Judge John Pavlock.
District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer said that between Oct. 1 and March 27, Doner conspired with Terry Sorensen to possess pseudoephedrine to be used to make meth. Doner and Sorensen make meth using the “one-pot shake & bake method,” Shaffer said.
Shaffer added that Doner was aware of how “highly flammable and toxic” the production of meth was — evidenced by the fact that there was a fire at one point in the apartment — and she continued to make it in the apartment she and Sorensen shared with two other people. A family lived upstairs, too.
Doner is represented by Public Defender Philip Clabaugh.
Sorensen, 41, of Bradford, has not been convicted of any charges in the case.
Sorensen has asked that his case be listed for trial. A pre-trial conference that was scheduled for him for Thursday has been postponed to Sept. 6.
Doner will be sentenced at 1 p.m. Sept. 27.
Doner is free on $10,000 unsecured bail; Sorensen, who was incarcerated on $75,000 bail in the case, is currently serving a term in state prison for a previous case and has two other cases pending.
