CALIFORNIA IN BRIEF : OROVILLE : ‘Mother of the Year’ Gets 30 Days in Jail
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Oroville’s “Mother of the Year” was sentenced to 30 days in jail after pleading no contest to a drug charge. Michelle Hendrix, 42, had been arrested last spring on charges including possession of methamphetamine for sale. She pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of possession of methamphetamine and the felony charges originally filed against her were dropped. A local business group had selected Hendrix “Mother of the Year” last May after her grade-school daughter wrote a letter on “why my mom is the best.”
