WICHITA, KAN. – A Kansas woman was sentenced to 57 months in prison for trafficking drugs. 

According to court documents, Andrea Brooke Kendall, 43, of Wichita pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. 

In January 2022, a Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office deputy who was working undercover arranged to purchase meth from Kendall. She sold the deputy two ounces of meth and 100 fentanyl pills. Law enforcement officers observed the transaction then followed Kendall to another location where her vehicle was searched. Deputies found 12.25 grams of heroin, nearly a pound a meth, as well as methadone, amphetamine, Pregabalin, and fentanyl pills.

Co-defendant Aaron Roberson, 39, of Wichita was a passenger in Kendall’s vehicle at the time of another traffic stop. He pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute fentanyl and was sentenced to 22 months in prison. 

The Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case.
