WILKES-BARRE &#8212; A Nanticoke woman will spend time in county prison until space is available in a rehabilitation program.Cheryl Lee Kemper, 31, was sentenced Monday in Luzerne County Court to spend three to 23 months in the Luzerne County Correctional Facility followed by two years probation on charges related to the manufacture of methamphetamine, according to court papers.She is to be paroled as soon as a bed is available in the county Restrictive Intermediate Punishment program, court papers show.Judge Michael T. Vough credited the woman for 47 days time served.Kemper was arrested in December after police say she called Luzerne County 911 and reported she had taken too much methamphetamine. She allegedly told a 911 dispatcher she had a chemical burn on her arm, could see a blood clot moving in her arm and her 13-year-old son was experiencing shortness of breath.Responding officers entered the woman&#8217;s Apollo Circle apartment to find a number of materials, chemicals and bi-products common in the production of methamphetamine.A state police Clandestine Laboratory Response Team removed the materials from the apartment.According to police, Kemper said she allowed her friend to cook meth in her apartment and also purchased some of the materials in exchange for quantities of the finished product.The woman said at least three other people as well as her two children were present while the drugs were being produced, police say.Officers arriving at the scene immediately noticed a chemical odor emanating from the residence and removed both Kemper and her son from the apartment, police say. Both Kemper and her son received medical treatment.Kemper pleaded guilty in September to one count each of possession of red phosphorus &#8212; a precursor chemical in the manufacture of methamphetamine &#8212; and criminal conspiracy to possess red phosphorus, as well as two felony counts of endangering the welfare of a child.Court papers say Kemper must pay $40,000 for clean up costs and another $7,000 to state police.<div class="metaInfo"><bylineMeta>By James O&#8217;Malleyjomalley@www.timesleader.com</bylineMeta></div><div class="metaInfo"><shirttailMeta>Reach James O&#8217;Malley at 570-991-6390 or on Twitter @TL_omalley.</shirttailMeta></div>
