Effingham Woman Gets Five-Year Prison Term in Clay County

An Effingham woman has received a five-year prison sentence for a drug offense in Clay County.

Clay County State's Attorney Joel Powless said 26-year-old Brittani M. Workman was sentenced for unlawful possession of methamphetamine. Workman was ordered by Judge Robin Todd to also pay more than $3,000 in fines, fees and assessments once she's out of prison.
