ALBION – Two Albion residents pleaded guilty to drug crimes today in Orleans County Court and could be sentenced to state prison.

Leeanne Krull, 45, of 35 N. Main St. admitted in court today to having hydrocodone in Medina. She told Judge James Punch she sold it one time on April 22.

She pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, which usually carries a maximum sentence of 2 ½ years in state prison. Because Krull has a prior felony, the maximum will be 4 years in state prison.

She will be sentenced on July 27. She is currently in the county jail on $5,000 bail.

John B. Lang, Jr., 56, of 175 North Main St., Apt. 16, also pleaded guilty to criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree.

Lang admitted he had hydrocodone on Sept. 9 and made one sale. He has no prior felonies and faces a maximum of 2 ½ years in state prison when he is sentenced on July 27.

Lang has been in the county jail on $75,000 bail. Judge Punch agreed to reduce the bail today to $25,000.
