Murphy pleaded guilty to a felony count of possessing cocaine and a misdemeanor count of child endangerment. The former Burbank mayor and councilwoman was arrested last July 13 after police served search warrants at her Lima Street home and found cocaine inside her bedroom, according to the District Attorney's Office.

Police also found three semi-automatic handguns and ammunition inside a black duffel bag in the garage, which was used as a playroom for Murphy's 12-year-old son, prosecutors said.

Murphy resigned from the City Council after the charges were filed.

Murphy's progress will be supervised by the court for five years, and she could be sentenced to up to three years in prison if she does not obey all terms of her supervision, according to the District Attorney's Office.
