TUPELO, Miss. — Feb. 10, 2026 — Candy Michelle Sullivan was sentenced Feb. 9 to 20 years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to multiple narcotics charges, including possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, tampering with evidence and simple possession of methamphetamine, a court release said.
Circuit Court Judge John R. White imposed the 20-year term and suspended an additional 23 years. Sullivan will be required to complete five years of post-release supervision following her prison term, the release said.
The cases were investigated by the North Mississippi Narcotics Unit, a regional law enforcement task force that investigates drug trafficking, the District Attorney’s Office said. The office commended the NMNU for what it called an aggressive investigation of narcotics distribution in the district. Assistant District Attorney Megan French prosecuted the case on behalf of the State of Mississippi.
Jason D. Herring, district attorney for the First Circuit Court District, issued the release. The Mississippi Department of Corrections operates the state’s prison system. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
