A Georgia woman was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Boston for her involvement in a trafficking cocaine and cocaine base as part of a larger drug trafficking conspiracy, according to a press release from acting U.S. attorney for Massachusetts Joshua S. Levy.

Tatianna Morrissey, 39, of Atlanta, Georgia, was sentenced to nine months in prison and three years of supervised release, by U.S. District Court Judge Richard G. Stearns, the release said.
