As a judge she lived a double life working with her sister to obtain pills in Utah then sell them in in Fremont County and on the Wind River Indian Reservation
A high-ranking Wyoming judge who served prison time for dealing drugs revealed how time in the slammer changed her life.
Terri Smith, 39, was the Wind River Tribal Court head judge when she was busted for distributing oxycodone and cocaine in 2019.
The mother-of-two had been living a double life while serving on the court. She was addicted to drugs and worked with her sister Jerri Lee Smith to obtain pills in Utah then sell them in in Fremont County and on the Wind River Indian Reservation.
Smith pleaded guilty to the federal drug charges and was sentenced to six months in prison and six months supervised release – which ultimately led to her recovery.
‘I was thinking, “I’d rather be here in this jail cell than being an addict out there.” I was a slave to that. I was,’ Smith told Cowboy State Daily.
