MASON CITY – A Mason City woman accused of dealing meth accepted a lenient plea deal this month.
Staci Jo Slater, age 31, faced two counts of felony C controlled substance violation – delivery of methamphetamine. The charges were brought – one each – by Mason City police and the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Office. On July 9th, Slater accepted a plea deal on both charges and Judge Rustin Davenport gave Slater a deferred judgment on one charge and dismissed another altogether. Davenport imposed 5 years of probation and $527.00 in court costs and fees between the two cases.

Philosophus Do you know if she has kids and if you do she should be reported but most likely she grew up with drugs and now shes just following suit. Sad very Sad
More important than worrying of individual use, should be whether children are involved. A new perspective towards drug use and “criminality”, should perhaps hinge in the presence of children. I agree that caregivers and substances don’t mix, but I care not for what an individual adult does with their own body, providing their use does not harm anyone else. This equally applies to male fathers as well.
I just find it hard for these POS that they get out of jail so easy and get these suspended terms and shit their back in jail in a few months. What kind of deterrent is there anymore?
If she is not a dealer she sure is a user. Just look at her face.
How come these meth heads always get off on a suspended sentence and then within a few months they are back in court? Seems like most of these addicts learn from the best!!
