Published 12:00 am Sunday, May 11, 2014

A South Point woman got some good news from Common Pleas Judge D. Scott Bowling on Wednesday.

Kimbralee Boyd, 23, was found not guilty of a count of second-degree illegal manufacture of drugs after successfully completing drug treatment in lieu of conviction.

“Not many people are given the opportunity to do treatment in lieu and very few complete it,” Mike Gleichauf, assistant prosecutor, said.

Carl Bowen II, chief of the Adult Probation Agency, said the woman had completed all treatment that was asked of her over the past year and now has a full-time job.

Warren Morford, Boyd’s attorney, said his client planned to stay clean.

“She is straight and doesn’t have a desire to return to her former life of drug abuse,” Morford said.

“Now I have the pleasure of finding you not guilty … it is as if you have been cleared of the indictment,” Bowling said. “I commend you and pat you on the back. We are proud of you and want to see you succeed.”
