DETROIT, Mich. — A couple who were previously told to not have any contact with each other are now facing longer sentences for a phone conversation to tell each other “I love you” and ask after their children.
The Detroit Free Press reports that Keeley Marie Sanders-Masch and Weston Gabriel now face probation violation hearings after they spoke on the phone despite court-ordered probation requirements prohibiting them from having contact.
Both apologized to the court, but Judge Miriam Cavanaugh was not moved. She told Sanders-Masch that she knew the risk and chose to ignore it, and said that King was unable to abide by the court’s orders even while under the strictest supervision.
Sanders-Masch received seven months in the county jail while King received an 18-month to four-year prison sentence.
King was originally sentenced to one year in the county jail for aiding the delivery of less than 50 grams of controlled substances and for instructing Sanders-Masch how much methadone and other prescription medications to sell while he was incarcerated in the county jail on a separate felonious assault and domestic violence incidents against Sanders-Masch.
Sanders-Masch was originally sentenced to six months in the jail and two years of probation for five counts of delivering drugs.
