Albion women pleads guilty to possession
ALBION — A local woman pleaded guilty to three narcotic-related felonies in Whitman County Superior Court on Friday, March 8.
Lameece Dillsi, 51, of Albion, pleaded guilty to possessing fentanyl, methamphetamine and heroin with intent to deliver.
According to court documents, Dillsi was on pretrial release but was returned to the Whitman County jail on Friday for use of fentanyl. Reports say fentanyl has been found in her system twice since she has been out of jail.
Judge Gary Libey agreed with the prosecution’s request to keep Dillsi in jail until she is sentenced. She is scheduled to be sentenced later this spring.
Dillsi was initially taken into custody in October 2023 after Whitman County Sheriff’s Office deputies received information from an unrelated investigation, which allowed them to seek and obtain a narcotics-related search warrant for a home on Pullman-Albion Road, according to a Whitman County Sheriff’s Office Facebook post.
Reports say deputies allegedly located over 400 fentanyl pills, methamphetamine, heroin, scales and other paraphernalia inside Dillsi’s home.
According to the same Facebook post, deputies believed all the narcotics seized were intended for delivery in the area.
In October, she was arrested and booked into the Whitman County Jail on a $35,000 bond or $3,500 cash bail. However, she is now held without bail through Whitman County Superior Court.
