Jail time for woman in gun case

A federal judge sentenced a Rutland woman to jail yesterday. Judge J. Garvan Murtha handed down a sentence of four months yesterday to 40-year-old Tammy Lynn Waite for supplying a handgun used in a deadly shootout. She had been on probation, but was returned to custody last month after violating her probation. Waite pleaded guilty last year to lying when she said she bought a handgun for herself. In fact, she purchased the weapon for Carlos Vasquez. He is an alleged drug dealer who was working from Waite’s house. He was killed there last year during a shootout.
