Natalie Michelle Quarles, 45, of Lexington, was sentenced to 9 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine.

The charges followed a traffic stop in which Quarles possessed a loaded firearm; approximately $1,400 in cash; marijuana, oxycodone and acetaminophen pills; hydrocodone and acetaminophen pills; amphetamine pills; and methamphetamine.

Quarles is prohibited from possessing firearms and ammunition for prior state convictions including assault and batter and grand larceny.

US District Judge Mary Geiger Lewis sentenced Quarles to 108 months in federal prison, to be followed by a 3-year term of court-ordered supervision. There is no parole in the federal system.
