SALISBURY — A Richfield woman was convicted this week of trafficking in heroin and sentenced to more than six years in prison.

Abigail Paige Harwood, 27, was convicted in Rowan County Criminal Superior Court of four counts of felony trafficking in heroin by possession and sale.

Judge Anna Mills Wagoner sentenced Harwood to a minimum of 70 months (5.8 years) to a maximum of 93 months (7.8 years) in prison, along with a $50,000 fine.
