M. Hogsett, 26, might walk free from jail within a week, said Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Thomas Knoll Jr. If she qualifies for home incarceration, Hogsett may shed her orange jumpsuit for an electronic monitor, Knoll said.
Authorities arrested Hogsett in August 2009, a month after an informant alerted authorities to her dealings with inmates. Later that month, an investigator searched Hogsett’s yellow pickup truck, finding letters, addresses, plastic baggies and balloons.Authorities identified Hogsett’s co-conspirators as Anthony Dwayne Roach, 33, who organized and operated the ring from inside prison walls, and Charles Daniel Koberstein Jr., 33, and Kevin Lee Gregory, 39.But Roach’s outside help involved more people than Hogsett, according to court records.Investigators used phone call recordings, text message records and money orders to link Hogsett to Kelly Tianna Morris, Roach’s outside drug source, the records state.According to notes from the investigation, Roach worked as the ringleader of the operation, with Koberstein as second-in-command.Hogsett received at least one payment of $120 from Roach for her services, Knoll said.Morris was charged with one count of delivering drugs to a prisoner. Koberstein is scheduled for a plea hearing Feb. 8, 2010. Roach’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for May.
