Shanell Michelle Lafrombois-Azure, 37, Belcourt, will serve about two years in prison for intent to deliver methamphetamine in December and for intent to deliver heroin in June. Both incidents took place at the Minot Walmart.

Judge Richard Hagar sentenced Lafrombois-Azure to a total of three years in prison, with a requirement that she serve two years, followed by three years of supervised probation for each of the Class B felony offenses. She will receive credit for 24 days served on the intent to deliver heroin charge and credit for 64 days already served on the intent to deliver meth charge. She was also sentenced to two years flat time for a Class C felony possession of drug paraphernalia charge in December, also concurrent with the other sentences. Lafrombois-Azure must also obtain a chemical dependency evaluation and pay court costs.

Other charges against Lafrombois-Azure were dismissed under the terms of the plea deal with the state.

According to court records, Lafrombois-Azure had 104 grams of methamphetamine packaged in plastic bags, a digital scale, and $1,058 in her purse when she was stopped at the Walmart in December. She had an additional $392 on her at the jail.

On June 13, she was stopped for shoplifting at the Walmart. When she was stopped, police found a small tube container with four individually wrapped baggies of heroin in her purse.
