TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Former U.S. figure skating champion Nicole Bobek is out of a New Jersey jail but not out of trouble.

The 31-year-old, who faces charges of conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in Hudson County, posted bail on Monday night. She was arrested in Florida last week.

Her mother doubts the 1995 U.S. figure skating champion would do something illegal, but says if she did, it was because of the company she keeps.

Jana Bobek says her daughter likes to "party" and that she has a good heart that has been taken advantage of in the past.

If convicted, Nicole Bobek would face up to 10 years in prison.
