Timeeka Biddinger, 22, already was on probation for a past possession of meth conviction when she was caught in June with the drug when police discovered a rolling meth lab.
Biddinger admitted she violated her probation and pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance, a Class D felony.
In exchange for her plea, prosecutors dropped additional charges of manufacturing meth, a Class B felony and attempted possession of a controlled substance and another possession of a controlled substance charge, all Class D felonies.
Bartholomew Superior Court 1 Judge Chris Monroe ordered Biddinger to participate in the county's forensic diversion program while on probation.
The program requires her to have regular contact with her probation officer and to participate in women support groups and drug recovery programs.
Her previous probation was terminated as "unsuccessful" because she violated it but served the remainder of that sentence in jail awaiting conclusion of the new drug charges.
Monroe told Biddinger this round of probation was her last opportunity to prove herself.
"If you don't cooperate with that, we'll have you try the (Department of Corrections) for awhile," Monroe said.
"You've got to do exactly what they tell you to do or you'll have to go to jail where they'll tell you what to do."
