A witness told the courtroom that she bragged about winning the 'lottery' after picking up the drugs

DANVILLE, Ga. — A Twiggs County woman will spend the next eight years in prison after being found guilty of selling more than 300 grams of meth.

According to a news release, Tiffany Sauls was sentenced on Nov. 20 after being convicted on a charge of intent to distribute meth back in July.

U.S. District Judge Marc Treadwell sentenced Sauls to 97 months in prison and five years of supervised release. There is no parole in the federal system

CASE HISTORY

Sauls was arrested on Sept. 29, 2018 in Twiggs County after a traffic stop on I-16.

Officers smelled marijuana and found 302 grams of meth in her car with a purity of 99% as well as a digital scale.

A witness testified in court that Sauls bragged about hitting the lottery when she got the drugs from her Atlanta supplier.

Sauls was previously covered by local media in 2015 after giving birth to mono mono, or monoamniotic twins. That means the girls shared the same placenta during Tiffany's pregnancy.

The odds of that happened are 1 in every 10,000 pregnancies, according to the US National Library of Medicine.

There is no word on what happened to her daughters after her arrest, conviction and sentencing.
