Description
Following a jury trial on May 17 and 18, 1982, in the circuit court of Fulton County, the defendant, Paula Ford, was found guilty of the offense of unlawful delivery of cannabis. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 56 1/2, par. 705(c).) She was subsequently sentenced to probation for a term of 30 months. The conditions of probation included 63 days of periodic imprisonment to be served weekdays in the Fulton County jail and treatment for alcohol and drug abuse. The State's sole occurrence witness, Donna Jean Kurlinkus, testified that she was a Warren County deputy sheriff assigned to the Multi-County Narcotic Enforcement Group. On February 26, 1981, while working as an undercover agent, Kurlinkus told the defendant that she was looking for some cannabis. Following the defendant's directions, Kurlinkus and the defendant drove to an alley behind 421 North Main Street in Canton, Illinois. The defendant then knocked on a door to an apartment and entered after the door was opened. About three minutes later, the defendant came back to the car and gave Kurlinkus a clear plastic bag containing a brownish leafy substance, later identified as cannabis. Kurlinkus agreed to the price of $35, and gave the defendant the money.
