A Watertown woman was sentenced Monday in Jefferson County Court to two years in state prison for trying to sell heroin.
Crystle M. Robinson, 23, of 305 Gotham St., also will have to undergo an additional three years of supervision upon her release for a June 6 guilty plea to third-degree attempted criminal sale of a controlled substance. She had been accused in a grand jury indictment handed up in May of selling heroin in late January and again in late February.
She was sentenced Monday as a second felony offender, having been sentenced in March 2007 to 11⁄3 to 4 years in prison for a second-degree attempted assault conviction. In that incident, she had been accused of trying to injure a corrections officer at the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building by striking her in the leg.

Mr. Kims was previously tried on the counts, convicted and sentenced in March 2011 to 16 years in prison. He also was convicted of second-degree criminal possession of marijuana. In June, the state Appellate Division, Fourth Department, overturned the controlled substance possession convictions and sent the matter to County Court for further proceedings.
