An 18-year-old Pope County woman learned a lesson the cost of freedom last week.
Stormie Bleu Sanders of London was under 72 months of supervised probation for the earlier convictions, but had that probation revoked after she failed to meet with and report to her supervising officer and failed to submit to a residential rehabilitative program at The Potters Clay center for women and children in Hot Springs.
She was on probation from a 2016 forgery conviction and was arrested again in May and negotiated a plea to possession of drug paraphernalia on May 17.
She is now back in jail on $100,000 bond, according to court records. A warrant was issued for her arrest on October 17 and she was booked into the Franklin County Detention Center just after 10 a.m. on Thursday.
The original conviction on the forgery charges from June of 2016 resulted in a negotiated plea of guilty on May 27 of this year. She was arrested again in January on the possession of drug paraphernalia charge and pleaded not guilty to that charge and had been freed upon $2,500 bail.
The trial date was originally set for April 13 of his year but Sander’s court appointed attorney filed for a continuance and was granted a new trial date of May 25 at which time she received the probation with the conditions which she later violated.
Sanders faces jail time of up to six years and/or a fine of up to $10,000 on the drug paraphernalia charge and 3-10 years imprisonment and up to $10,000 in fines on the forgery charges.
