Wise County woman sentenced for trafficking cocaine, mushrooms
ABINGDON, Va. — A Wise County, Va., woman has been sentenced to five years in federal prison for trafficking cocaine and psychedelic mushrooms.
Emily Dawn McCoy, 27, of Pound, pleaded guilty to distributing more than 500 grams of cocaine and psilocyn.
Federal prosecutors say McCoy sold cocaine and drugs to undercover members of the Southwest Virginia Multi-Jurisdictional Narcotics Task Force several times in 2024.
When investigators searched her home in September 2024, they say they found nearly two pounds of cocaine, psychedelic mushrooms, suspected marijuana, cannabis wax, a 9-millimeter handgun, ammunition, and what appeared to be a drug sales ledger.

Pikeville woman charged with sexual extortion for attempt to have sex with 16-year-old
PIKEVILLE, Ky. — A Pike County woman was arrested Thursday over allegations she bought alcohol for a minor and tried to have sex with him.
Pikeville Police received a call from a woman who reported that she had found messages on her 16-year-old son’s phone from Kristi Coleman, 38, of Pikeville. The messages included statements that she wished he were 18 and offering to buy the teen alcohol if he would come stay with her.
Coleman was arrested and, when interviewed, reportedly admitted to offering him alcohol and buying him an alcoholic beverage at a gas station June 30. She also allegedly admitted that she was talking with him in an attempt to have sex with him, saying she knew he was underage, but that he didn’t “look or act like he was only 16.”
Coleman is now charged with sexual extortion, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison, as well as a misdemeanor count of unlawful transaction with a minor. She is being held in the Pike County jail on a $2,000 cash bond.
