Two former Fairfield University students arrested almost a year ago for large-scale marijuana sales were sentenced Friday, April 1 by Judge Roland Fasano of the Fairfield Superior Court.
Micaela Marshall ’06 was sentenced to 15 months in prison following her Feb. 8 plea of “guilty” on charges of multiple counts of selling marijuana, sale of marijuana within 1,500 feet of a school, sale of a controlled substance, operation of a drug factory and use of drug paraphernalia.
She will also serve five years of probation under several conditions. Judge Fasano recommended substance abuse evaluation and treatment, mental health evaluation and treatment, the completion of 100 hours of community service, no possession of illegal narcotics and full-time employment during the probation term.
Marshall, 22, whose operations were based in Dolan Hall, would have graduated with the class of 2006.
Erick Rodriguez ’05, who had plead “guilty” to charges of sale of marijuana and possession and sale of marijuana within 1,500 feet of a school, was sentenced to 12 months in prison, followed by three years of probation.
The conditions of Rodriguez’s probation include a substance abuse evaluation and treatment, no possession of illegal narcotics, full-time employment and the completion of 100 hours of community service.
“I’m going to look at this as another obstacle I’m going to have to overcome, because I overcame many in my life, and use this as motivation to do what I’ve got to do in the future and get on the right track,” Rodriguez said to the court.
