Former Weber County evidence tech sentenced to a year in jail for eating meth at work

Ogden • A former Weber County evidence technician will spend a year in jail after she admitted that she tore through evidence bags to eat confiscated methamphetamine on the job.

Candice Barbara Follum pleaded guilty in October to 20 counts of third-degree felony altering a public record and another 20 charges of misdemeanor use of a controlled substance.

Her sentence on Tuesday was no surprise — attorneys had asked the judge for that punishment when she took the plea deal months ago.

Second District Judge Noel Hyde ordered that Follum spend six months behind bars before she is eligible for work release.
