Fairbanks residents Lamon Glenn Washington, 34, and Tammi Mae Chapman, 20, were sentenced recently to serve 87 months and 32 months, respectively, for their involvement in a drug conspiracy to import and distribute cocaine, prosecutors said.

Washington -- also known as "Monte" -- was accused of paying Chapman to bring in the drugs from Seattle on two occasions in the spring of 2006, according to prosecutors. Chapman later recruited another courier to replace her; that courier was caught in the summer of 2006 and has already been sentenced.

The conspiracy involved a total of more than 2 kilograms of cocaine, according to prosecutors. Judge Ralph Beistline imposed the sentence.
