NORTHAMPTON - Former state drug analyst Sonya Farak was given an 18-month jail sentence Monday after pleading guilty to stealing cocaine she was supposed to be testing. Superior Court Judge Mary-Lou Rup also ordered the 35-year-old Northampton chemist to serve 5 years of probation and 500 hours of community services following her release from custody. By stealing cocaine from the crime lab at the University of Massachusetts, Farak undermined public faith in the criminal justice system and sabotaged drug prosecutions in four western counties, Rup said during a hearing in Hampshire Superior Court. “I don’t have to tell you the number of cases - dozens, hundreds,” the judge said, summarizing the damage from the Amherst drug lab scandal. masslive/news/index.ssf/2014/01/chemist.html
