Law enforcement officials intercepted Natkong immediately afterward and found her in possession of 2.5 grams of controlled substances, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n<p>A news release from the Department of Law stated there&rsquo;s a maximum sentence of 10 years for second-degree drug misconduct and a maximum of five years sentence for each additional charge in the indictment.<\/p>\n<p><div id=\"DV-viewer-4447092-sharp465-Akcourts-Us-20180425-080656\" class=\"DC-embed DC-embed-document DV-container\"><\/div>\n<p>  DV.load(&#8220;https:\/\/www.documentcloud.org\/documents\/4447092-sharp465-Akcourts-Us-20180425-080656.js&#8221;, {<br \/>\n  responsive: true,<br \/>\n    container: &#8220;#DV-viewer-4447092-sharp465-Akcourts-Us-20180425-080656&#8221;<br \/>\n  });<\/p>\n<p>  <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.documentcloud.org\/documents\/4447092\/sharp465-Akcourts-Us-20180425-080656.pdf\">sharp465@Akcourts Us 20180425 080656 (PDF)<\/a><br \/>\n  <br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/assets.documentcloud.org\/documents\/4447092\/sharp465-Akcourts-Us-20180425-080656.txt\">sharp465@Akcourts Us 20180425 080656 (Text)<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>&#8226; Contact reporter Alex McCarthy at 523-2271 or amccarthy@juneauempire.com.
