The cited violation was being arrested by Kidder Township on drug counts.

President Judge Roger N. Nanovic II resentenced her to serve three to one day less 24 months in the county prison on each count, with the terms running concurrently. She will serve the time on consecutive weekends of Fridays to Tuesdays. The sentence was effective Nov. 10 at 9 a.m.
