According to court documents, agents received information that Harmon was receiving and distributing narcotics at an address in D’Iberville, Mississippi. On July 8, 2020, agents intercepted a package sent to Harmon which contained 264 grams of pure methamphetamine.
Harmon pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. She is scheduled to be sentenced on February 16, 2024, and faces up to twenty years in prison.
