Drug sting wraps up in Macon County
District Attorney Ashley Hornsby Welch said a Macon County woman who was arrested as part of a multiple-person drug sting will serve at least 120 months in prison.
Pamela Nicole “Nikki” Wykle, 44, of Franklin, pleaded guilty Feb. 2 to two counts sell/deliver methamphetamine and trafficking methamphetamine.
In addition to active prison time, Senior Resident Superior Court Judge Bill Coward ordered her to pay a $50,000 fine. Wykle’s plea marks the successful conclusion to officials’ efforts to curb a large-scale methamphetamine operation that served as a drug pipeline from Atlanta, Georgia into Western North Carolina.
