Sherry Johnston, the woman the world has to thank for the existence of Levi Johnston, is headed off to the pokey after taking a plea deal yesterday in her OxyContin-dealing case that will likely land her behind bars for three years, the Anchorage Daily News reports. Johnston pleaded guilty to one count in exchange for five others being dropped. She'll await her November sentencing at a correctional center, but her lawyers hope she'll be allowed to serve her sentence on house arrest. (More Sherry Johnston stories.)
