Letterlough had previously been convicted of "drug trafficking, possessing a gun in furtherance of drug trafficking, and possession of a stolen gun" in November 2021, according to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam.

Her "fellow drug trafficker, Saqueena Williams, a/k/a 'Queenie,'" the operator of Queenies Café, was also convicted at the same trial for "running a drug trafficking conspiracy from 2012 to 2018," as stated in the recently USDOJ release.

Williams trafficked more than of five kilograms of cocaine and had a gun that she used to advance her drug trafficking operation, according to the release.

"Letterlough surrendered her interests in Grams Grill, located in Harrisburg, and other property. Williams also surrendered her interests in Queenies Café, located in Harrisburg, as well as the liquor license and other properties," the USDOJ states in the release.

Letterlough has been sentenced to 111 months, or just over 9 years of imprisonment by United States District Court Judge Christopher C. Conner as of August 29, 2022, according to court documents.
