ATHENS — A Wednesday drug raid by an eight-member team of deputies south of Chandler ended with a woman in jail, facing decades in prison. Veronica Wortman, 49, was charged with a first degree felony for manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance. The substantial amount of methamphetamine she’s accused of processing for sale carries a penalty of up to $10,000 and up to 99 years in prison, according to Henderson County Sheriff Botie Hillhouse. Hillhouse sent the team to a home on Hillcrest Drive, near the Sunrise Shores subdivision.
