Sham wedding lands woman in prison

MOBILE, AL [SIGN UP: Get headlines and breaking news sent to you]

Lynn Carol Page, 48, of Sugar Land, Texas, pleaded guilty to a drug conspiracy that shipped more than 150 kilograms of cocaine to the Mobile area. Page's relatively clean criminal record made her eligible for a "safety valve" that spared her from a 10-year mandatory-minimum sentence. Page acknowledged taking $9,000 from a Houston drug kingpin, Daron Odell Jones, to marry one of his suppliers in Mexico.

Page told U.S. District Judge Charles Butler Jr. in Mobile that she knew it was wrong to take the $9,000, but it helped put a roof over her head and her daughter's head.
