An attorney from Berryville, Arkansas, who was caught selling methamphetamine out of her law office in October of 2009 has lost her license to practice law and has been sentenced to ten years in prison.

Cindy M. Baker, 37, who now lives in Reeds Spring, MO, admitted that she sold meth to a confidential informant who had paid for the drugs with marked money provided by undercover officers.

When police raided her office, Baker was found to be in possession of meth and the marked money.

Baker, who is now pregnant, will spend the next four years (six years of her sentence was suspended) at the Department of Community Corrections where drug rehab is available, followed by 14 years of supervised probation. The judge hearing Baker's case told her that if she failed to complete the terms of her sentence, she will be incarcerated for 14 years.

Sheriff Bob Grudek SAYS, "It just shows you what drugs can do to you no matter what your career is.  Professional people and everyday people are affected......drugs don't discriminate."

Jason Devron Campbell (SCSO)

In an unrelated case involving Baker, her boyfriend, Jason Devron Campbell, 40, was shot seven times after he allegedly chased her while holding a knife to her sister's Reed Spring home following a domestic disturbance on December 15th. When no one inside the sister's house would open the door for him, he kicked it in and was shot seven times by a 39 year-old man inside the residence.
