The former Green Hill School corrections employee arrested for delivering a burrito concealing THC concentrate to the juvenile rehabilitation facility on March 30 was sentenced Wednesday to two years and a day in prison.
Angel Misner, 33, of Ethel, entered guilty pleas in Lewis County Superior Court on Thursday, May 29, to one count each of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and second-degree attempted introducing contraband.
“I knowingly possessed marijuana with intent to deliver and attempted to provide marijuana to another in Green Hill School,” Misner stated in a written guilty plea filed in Lewis County Superior Court on Wednesday.
Misner was sentenced to one day in jail for the possession of a controlled substances charge, plus a 24-month enhancement that was added because the offence took place within 1,000 feet of a school or other government-designated drug-free zone.
On the attempted introducing contraband charge, Misner was sentenced to 364 days in prison, to run concurrent with her sentence on the other charge.
As part of her sentence, Misner is required to undergo a substance use disorder evaluation and complete all recommended treatment.
Misner was arrested March 31 and was in custody at the Lewis County Jail on $100,000 bail up until her sentencing hearing on Wednesday. She has since been transferred to a state Department of Corrections facility to serve her sentence.
The incident was reported to the Chehalis Police Department at approximately 12:45 p.m. on March 30, according to police call logs.
Misner is accused of concealing 1.3 pounds of suspected THC concentrate inside a food order that she attempted to drop off for a then-current Green Hill School employee, Nicholas Judson, 40, according to previous Chronicle reporting.
Judson was charged May 7 for his alleged involvement in the incident. He is currently out of custody on $20,000 unsecured bail and has pleaded not guilty to all charges. A trial setting hearing is scheduled for Sept. 4.
Another Green Hill School employee reportedly recognized Misner when she arrived at the facility to deliver the food order on March 30. When confronted, Misner reportedly dropped the bag and left the facility.
“The bag was inspected, and it contained a large burrito that had been cut into two pieces. Inside the burrito were two large bricks of what officers recognized, based on their training and experience, to be THC wax,” the Lewis County Prosecutor’s Office stated in charging documents.
Misner was fired from Green Hill School in July 2024 when she was arrested on alleged custodial sexual misconduct, tampering with a witness, introducing contraband, money laundering and abuse of office charges.
She was acquitted on all but the official misconduct charge following a non-jury trial on Jan. 21, 2025.
She was sentenced Jan. 23 to 364 days in jail with credit for 183 days served. The remaining 181 days were suspended for 24 months, meaning Misner would not have to serve any of that jail time so long as she followed her conditions of release, which include no additional law violations.
She was released from the Lewis County Jail following her sentencing hearing on Jan. 23, according to previous Chronicle reporting.
Court documents indicate Misner was trespassed from Green Hill School as part of the resolution of that case.
Misner was one of seven Green Hill School corrections employees who were charged or referred on charges for alleged crimes that took place at the facility in 2024, according to previous Chronicle reporting. So far, Misner is the only one of those seven employees to have been convicted on a criminal charge. One case resulted in acquittal in a non-jury trial, one case was dismissed without prejudice, one was ultimately not charged and three were still active as of Monday afternoon.
The most recent thwarted attempt to smuggle drugs into Green Hill School was reported on Dec. 23, 2024, when staff “successfully intercepted a football filled with drugs that were thrown over the fence,” according to previous Chronicle reporting.
Earlier that month, Green Hill School announced that it was in the process of implementing new security restrictions aimed at combating the smuggling of contraband into the facility, including increasing the volume of searches, reducing numbers of visitors and limiting what staff, contractors and visitors can bring onto campus.
The announcement came in the wake of a series of eight medical emergencies within two weeks that involved contraband at the facility, according to previous Chronicle reporting.
