Brownsville woman who set up deadly fake drug deal pleads, sentenced on homicide charges
A Brownsville woman involved with a fake drug deal that ended with the shooting death of a Uniontown man pleaded no contest to third-degree murder and was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison.
Keli Marie Brumley, 21, also pleaded no contest to charges of criminal conspiracy and recklessly endangering another person before Fayette County President Judge John F. Wagner Jr.
A no contest plea is neither admitting or denying guilt.
Brumley helped set up a fake drug deal to rob Trisa Stickle who wanted to buy drugs and was driving the vehicle in which Jordan Mapstone, 24, of Uniontown was the passenger on Feb. 26, 2017.
Arsuan Lee Patterson, 20, of Uniontown came to their car with a gun and demanded Mapstone and Stickle give him their money. When Stickle tried to drive off, Patterson shot Mapstone.
Mapstone died at Uniontown Hospital.
Patterson pleaded guilty to similar charges in July and was also sentenced by Wagner to serve 22½ to 45 years in prison.
Brumley, who is represented by attorney Jeremy Davis, received credit for time served from Feb. 27 to June 8, 2017, and her sentence will run consecutively with a previous sentence of one to two years in prison on charges of simple assault and harassment in an unrelated case from 2016.
During her sentencing, Wagner also ordered that she pay restitution in the amount of $11,000 to Mapstone’s family.
Brumley was transported to SCI Muncy for compliance with the sentence.
