Carthage meth mom to enter drug program, receive suspended sentence


A Carthage mother pleaded guilty to three felony counts of endangering the welfare of a child Monday in Jasper County Circuit Court.

The probable cause statement indicates Shelly R. Thornton, 38, used meth in front of her three children in 2021.

Under a plea agreement with the Jasper County Prosecuting Attorney's office, Thornton will enter a local substance abuse program and online court records indicate her sentence is suspended.
