then new info

The woman who shot at an intruder in her Jefferson County home last night, allegedly had a lot of pot in her house.
Jefferson County Deputies say they found several pounds of marijuana packaged for distribution in Judith Gilberts home.

So what we may have here is a drug deal gone wrong...
While it was nice that she used a gun to defend herself and her stash it looks like she should have turned herself in also.
Like Mike always sez....sometimes the good guys are bad.
