Laurel woman sentenced for meth dealing

Brookville, In. — A Laurel woman has been sentenced to 22 years in prison for her role in a methamphetamine dealing operation. Rachel Isaacs, 42, will serve 18 years in prison and the remaining time on probation.

The Franklin County Drug Task Force opened an investigation in August of 2016 after receiving a tip about drug activity at her Basin Street home.

In September police served a search warrant and confiscated four grams of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia.

On October 9 around midnight, while Isaacs was out on bail police returned to her home following the traffic stop of Wayne Seiber, 52, of Dayton. Seiber was caught with 83.5 grams of methamphetamine, $2140 in cash, two handguns and paraphernalia. Seiber told police he had been using drugs at the Isaacs home. On October 10 the task force served another search warrant at the Isaacs home and found almost 40 grams of methamphetamine.

In November Isaacs pleaded guilty to two counts of dealing in methamphetamine and one count of maintaining a common nuisance.

Several other arrests have been made as a result of these investigations.
