Hillsboro woman sentenced to community control for drug possession

A Hillsboro woman was sentenced to community control recently after pleading guilty to a drug possession charge.

As previously reported, Katelyn Webb, 31, was indicted by a Highland County grand jury in July and charged with one count of aggravated possession of methamphetamine, a third-degree felony.

The indictment alleged that on or about April 10, 2025, Webb “knowingly obtained, possessed or used” meth “in an amount equal to or exceeding bulk amount but less than five times bulk amount.”

According to court records, Webb pleaded guilty to the charge in September.

At a sentencing hearing in November, Highland County Common Pleas Court Judge Rocky Coss sentenced Webb to three years of community control. She was also ordered to successfully complete substance use disorder treatment and recommended aftercare.
