A Menominee woman with an extensive criminal history has been sentenced to prison following convictions involving credit card fraud and drug contraband inside the county jail.
Menominee County Prosecutor Jeffrey Rogg says 37-year-old Terry Lee Kortz received two concurrent prison sentences Friday from Circuit Court Judge Christopher Ninomiya.
The sentences range from fourteen months to four years and fourteen months to five years.
According to court records, Kortz took a credit card left at a cash register and attempted to make more than five-hundred dollars in purchases.
In a separate investigation, police searching her vehicle discovered drug paraphernalia, including a meth pipe and syringes.
While at the jail, a body scanner detected a concealed object. Kortz later surrendered more methamphetamine hidden inside her body.
Prosecutor Rogg says Kortz has accumulated three felony convictions and seventeen misdemeanor convictions over sixteen years.
He criticized her repeated criminal behavior and said previous community sanctions had failed.
Kortz had also failed to appear for sentencing in August.
