A 42-year-old Marshall woman who changed her plea to some of the felony charges following the execution of a search warrant at her residence on December 28, 2020, is scheduled to be sentenced.

A probable-cause statement says Rosemary T. Vera was arrested after authorities seized numerous drug-related items, including methamphetamine; syringes containing liquid methamphetamine; a digital scale with methamphetamine residue; notebooks with drug information; a loaded handgun; and several other drug-related items.

Court documents say Vera was charged with felonies for delivery of a controlled substance,  a dangerous felon unlawfully possessing a firearm and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.

Vera withdrew her not-guilty plea and pleaded guilty to the delivery and a dangerous felon unlawfully possessing a firearm on February 14. The court dismissed the  possession of drug paraphernalia charge

Vera’s jury trial that was scheduled to begin on March 2, was canceled. Her sentencing hearing was postponed from March 28 to  11 a.m. Monday, April 11, at Saline County Circuit Court.
