Ocean View woman sentenced for distributing meth

DELAWARE – An Ocean View woman has been sentenced to prison for distributing methamphetamine.

35-year-old Melanie Mitchell was sentenced last week to a total of 42 months in prison. Her husband, Vincent Mitchell, was sentenced earlier this year to four years in prison for the same offense.

According to court documents, investigators executed a search warrant in July 2022 at the Mitchells’ home in Ocean View, seizing one pound of methamphetamine and $6,000. It was determined that on a monthly basis, the Mitchells drove from Ocean View to Philadelphia, where they bought a pound of methamphetamine that they sold in the Ocean View area.

Mitchell was ordered to self-report to the designated prison on January 8, 2024.
