From Decatur, Illinois comes the story of a 28 year old female drug dealer named Sarah E. Copple. She was riding right along, making $14,000 a month supplying folks with cocaine and weed. Herald-Review

It's anybody's game out there in the drug world I guess. Male, female, young, old, if you feel like risking it all to make some big bucks...the drug world doesn't care!

When cops searched the home of Sarah, they found $27,000 in a safe, and around $2,300 stuffed inside her purse. Sarah was making a good living, but illegally. They also found a bunch of drugs and guns inside Sarah's home:

  • 1,628 grams (3½ pounds) of cannabis
  • 13.3 grams of cocaine
  • The safe also contained a .45 caliber handgun
  • 9mm semi-automatic pistol

“During a Mirandized interview with Sarah, she admitted to receiving approximately 20 pounds of cannabis per month, Sarah said she makes approximately $12,000 per month in cannabis sales. Sarah also said she will sell approximately 1 ounce of cocaine every two weeks. Sarah said she makes approximately $2,000 per month in cocaine sales.” - Officer Philip Ganley, a member of the police Street Crimes Unit

Seems like Sarah pretty much told the cops everything when they searched her home.

“Sarah advised the money located in the safe is proceeds of drug sales, she advised she does not work and her only source of income is cannabis and cocaine sales.” -  Officer Philip Ganley, a member of the police Street Crimes Unit
