Kaiser
By Allison Scarbrough, News Editor
LUDINGTON — A 37-year-old woman was sentenced in Mason County’s 51st Circuit Court Tuesday, Sept. 16, to three to 40 years in prison for a conviction of delivery/manufacture of methamphetamine.
Nicole Lynn Kaiser was sentenced Tuesday by the same judge who warned her back in 2017 that she would end up in prison or dead if she didn’t get her drug problem resolved. “I really want to advise you that if you don’t want to end up in prison, you need to get control of your drug problem,” Judge Susan K. Sniegowski previously said. “If you don’t do that, you will find yourself a victim of your drug problem and will not be here with us or end up in prison. You will either end up back here or end up dead.”
Kaiser pleaded “no contest” to the charge, along with two counts of possession of cocaine, heroin or another narcotic July 3, 2025. Judge Sniegowski sentenced Kaiser to concurrent terms of three to 15 years for the other two charges, which also run concurrently to delivery/manufacture conviction, according to court records. She received credit for 213 days served in jail.
In the earlier 2017 case, Kaiser pleaded guilty to tampering with an electronic monitoring device (tether) and third-offense habitual offender. She was sentenced to serve five months up front of a one-year discretionary jail term with credit for 100 days served.
Just months prior, Kaiser pleaded guilty to heroin possession under 25 grams and second-offense habitual offender, and her plea agreement called for a one-year discretionary jail term with six months up front.
In 2014, she was found guilty of controlled substance delivery less than 50 grams and two counts of controlled substance delivery, schedule 1, 2, 3. She was sentenced to three concurrent terms of one year in jail with credit for 88 days served and was ordered to serve eight months up front with the balance to be served at the court’s discretion.
In 2014, Kaiser pleaded guilty to delivery of cocaine after unwittingly selling cocaine to an undercover police officer in March of that year. She also pleaded guilty to two counts of delivery of morphine during the same month.
Kaiser has had addresses in both Pentwater and Ludington in her circuit court records, which date back to 2009.
