Police in Pennsylvania have arrested a woman who admitted to selling marijuana to provide for her grandchildren. 

According to the Associated Press, police found 64 pounds of marijuana and $400,000 in cash at 65-year-old Candace Kelly's Sarver, Pa. home last year. Though the charges were initially dropped due to issues with the search warrant, Kelly was charged again in January. 

Kelly explained to officials that she started selling marijuana in order to take care of her grandchildren following her daughter's death. She also reportedly told a judge that she sold up to 100 pounds of marijuana annually over the course of four years. 

She pleaded guilty yesterday and faces up to 10 years behind bars.
