Jennifer T. Hollywood-Kramer appeared in Schuylkill County Court twice on Monday, leaving the second time for prison after being sentenced in her two cases.
Hollywood-Kramer, 35, of Pottsville, must serve three to 23 months in prison, Judge Charles M. Miller ruled, and five years on probation, Judge John E. Domalakes decided.
Each judge revoked Hollywood-Kramer's probation in the case before him before applying the new sentence.
"I'm almost at the point now where I figure you're not going to comply" with what she is ordered to do, Domalakes said.
Hollywood-Kramer pleaded guilty on Aug. 21, 2008, to theft by deception and unsworn falsification to authority, with prosecutors dropping a second theft by deception charge. At that time, Domalakes ordered Hollywood-Kramer to spend five years on probation, and also sentenced her to perform 100 hours community service and to pay costs, $50 to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Account and $20,206 restitution, amounts she still must pay under Domalakes' new sentence.
In that case, Pottsville police charged Hollywood-Kramer with committing the theft on Nov. 30, 2003, in the city.
In her other case, Hollywood-Kramer pleaded guilty on hindering apprehension and obstructing law enforcement. At that time, Miller placed Hollywood-Kramer on probation for 12 months and also sentenced her to pay costs and a $50 CJEA payments; the defendant still is liable to pay those amounts under Miller's new sentence.
Pottsville police charged Hollywood-Kramer with committing those two crimes on April 6, 2011, in the city.
Each judge revoked Hollywood-Kramer's probation after she admitted being arrested again for a new crime, failing to make payments on her costs and restitution, and improperly furnishing drug-free urine.
Also on Monday, Domalakes ordered Mary V. Leonard, 48, of Pottsville, recommitted to prison after revoking her parole. Leonard must remain in prison for nine months before applying for a new parole, and could stay behind bars until March 13, 2014, Domalakes ordered.
Domalakes revoked Leonard's parole after the defendant admitted violating it by not reporting to her parole officer, failing drug tests and not completing her treatment.
Leonard originally pleaded guilty on June 4, 2010, to two counts each of retail theft and receiving stolen property. At that time, Domalakes placed her on probation for 18 months and also sentenced her to pay costs, a $50 CJEA payment and a $50 bench warrant fee.
Pottsville police had charged her with committing the thefts on Dec. 17, 2009, in the city.
Domalakes revoked her probation on Oct. 29, 2010, and sentenced her to serve four to 23 months in prison.
Also on Monday, Kelly J. Knepper, 41, of Tamaqua, pleaded guilty to driving under suspension-DUI related.
Judge Cyrus Palmer Dolbin accepted Knepper's plea, ordered preparation of a presentence investigation and said he would schedule sentencing at a later date.
Tamaqua police charged Knepper with driving with the suspended license on June 24, 2009, in the borough. Magisterial District Judge Stephen J. Bayer, Tamaqua, had found Knepper guilty on April 27, 2010, but the defendant appealed that ruling on May 25, 2010.
Also on Monday, Dolbin dismissed an appeal filed by John F. Yagielniskie, 49, of Girardville, who had been charged with disorderly conduct and driving under suspension. Dolbin ruled that Yagielniskie waited too long to file his appeal, meaning the defendant's convictions will stand.
State police at Frackville had charged Yagielniskie with committing his crimes on May 31. Magisterial District Judge Christina E. Hale, Frackville, had found Yagielniskie guilty on July 31, and the defendant filed his appealed on Aug. 31.
