Huntington Woman Pleads Guilty To Drug Gang Involvement
WEST VIRGINIA....
Terri Lynette Burns, a woman who watched her husband, Mark Lowry, be shot on July 27th and then die at a hospital, pleaded guilty Monday to aiding and abetting a drug trafficking organization with ties to Detroit in the distribution of at least 5 grams of crack cocaine in and around Huntington. The stipulation states Burns’ participation with helping the gang known as “Cash Out Crips” included providing shelter, riding on transport trips to and from Detroit, posting bond for its members and connecting group members with potential customers. The specific charge relates to a May 6, 2009, incident in which the stipulation states Burns acted as a broker in an estimated 20-gram crack cocaine transaction between traffickers and a Huntington Safe Streets Task Force informant. Burns has said drugs played no part in her husband's death. A January 31st sentencing date has been set.
