CLEARFIELD — A Clearfield woman accused of smuggling drugs into the Clearfield County Jail and causing a fatal overdose has signed a plea agreement.

In July 2023, three women overdosed on drugs allegedly supplied by Angela Marie Ricketts, 39.

During court on Monday, a plea agreement was put on the record which gives her a minimum of 87 months in state prison for charges of drug delivery resulting in death in this case, two drug cases and a drug paraphernalia charge.

District Attorney Ryan Sayers said the plea breaks down as six years for the death charge and 15 months for the drug charges.

Ricketts is scheduled for sentencing on May 20, according to online court records.

According to the affidavit of probable cause, Ricketts was in the jail after a July 5 encounter with DuBois City Police at a hotel, where she and a man were acting suspiciously and asking employees drug-related questions.

She was taken into custody on a warrant and transported to the jail.

She allegedly had three bags of drugs — including cocaine, fentanyl, Xanax and Klonopin — concealed in her body.

While she was at the jail, she reportedly gave another inmate a small “rock” piece “because she was asking for it to get high.” This inmate later tested positive for three different drugs.

On July 6, Ricketts was reportedly in the cell with the two women who overdosed after they did a “line off a book with a straw.” Shortly after this, one of the inmates had a seizure before becoming unresponsive.

While CPR was being performed on her, the second inmate became unconscious and efforts were made to resuscitate her. Both were eventually revived with Narcan.

While being transported by ambulance to the hospital, one of them reportedly said she got the drugs from Ricketts, who had drugs hidden on her person, court documents state.

Other inmates stated they knew Ricketts had drugs.

In the early morning hours of July 8, a third woman overdosed and died.

When the cell was searched, police found a contact lens container with an unknown crystallized rock.

They also located a plastic straw and a small crystallized rock that tested positive for fentanyl that had reportedly rolled off the victim when she was moved.

In a commissary bag, officers found 29 pills thought to be Xanax and Klonopin.

Police said the drugs were smuggled into the facility by Ricketts, who hid them in a body cavity.

In a phone call on Sept. 1, Ricketts allegedly told her sister that she brought drugs into the jail.

The victim had both Fentanyl and acetyl fentanyl in her system and the cause of death was a multi-drug overdose, according to the autopsy report.
