An elderly Shelby County woman is under arrest after she sold drugs to undercover lawmen, authorities say.

The Shelby County Drug Enforcement Task Force today announced charges against 80-year-old Fannie Mae Victor. The Montevallo woman has previous convictions on drug charges.

Task force Lt. Clay Hammac said investigators conducted multiple undercover purchases of crack cocaine from Victor at her home. The drug buys were part of a four-month probe.

Authorities signed two warrants for unlawful distribution of crack cocaine against Victor on Tuesday. On Wednesday, she surrendered to the Chilton County Sheriff's Office, was booked into jail and then released after posting $20,000 bond.

Court records show she has multiple prior arrests, and in 2009 pleaded guilty to drug distribution and drug possession. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with 18 months to serve.

"This is certainly a unique case, simply for the fact that we do not typically encounter 80 year olds in the business of selling cocaine,'' Hammac said. "However, her age does not grant immunity from the law. Cocaine is a predatory drug, and regardless of age, we will continue to seek out area drug dealers and put them behind bars."
