Avis Drug Dealer Sentenced to State Prison
LOCK HAVEN- Mary Tina Marie Yost, formerly of East Central Avenue, Avis, was sentenced earlier this week on 6 criminal cases involving her possession and delivery of Bath Salts, Methamphetamine, and Cocaine in 2021 and 2022.
Clinton County Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael F. Salisbury sentenced Yost to a maximum sentence of 13 years in state prison, with parole eligibility after serving 5 years and 3 months. Yost had been arrested by various Clinton County law enforcement agencies, but the most serious of her charges were brought after a combined drug task force operation conducted by the Clinton County East Drug Task Force and the Lycoming County Narcotics Enforcement Unit resulted in a search warrant on Yost’s residence at 820 East Central Avenue. The search resulted in police seizing more than $15,000 worth of bath salts, methamphetamine, cocaine, heroin, prescription pills, and fentanyl from the home.
The investigations were collaborations with the following law enforcement agencies: Clinton County District Attorney’s Office, Lycoming County District Attorney’s Office, Lycoming County Narcotics Enforcement Unit, Clinton County East Drug Task Force, Pine Creek Township Police Department, Tiadaghton Valley Regional Police Department, Lock Haven City Police, Woodward Township Police, Clinton County Sheriff’s Department, U.S. Marshalls Task Force, Pennsylvania State Police and the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General Bureau of Narcotics Division.
