A 29-year-old Richlandtown,Pennsilvania woman pleaded guilty Tuesday in Bucks County,Pennsilvania Court to dealing heroin from the home she shares with her two children, one of whom is disabled.

"Miss Lang is involved actively in (substance abuse) counseling at the Aldie Foundation," Goldman said, naming a Doylestown,Pennsilvania-based drug and alcohol counseling group.

Arrested July 19, Lang pleaded guilty to drug possession, possession with intent to deliver and possession of drug paraphernalia.
