Four people returned to prison Wednesday after a Schuylkill County judge revoked each one’s parole.
Amanda L. Strimboulis, 27, of Hegins, will stay in prison until her sentence expires on Nov. 22, Judge Cyrus Palmer Dolbin ruled after rejecting her request to be sent to a rehabilitation center.
“You’ve got to start taking steps on your own,” Dolbin told her. “It’s poison you’re putting in your body.”
Strimboulis originally pleaded guilty on April 18, 2012, to robbery, conspiracy, theft and simple assault, with prosecutors withdrawing a second count of robbery. At that time, Dolbin sentenced her to serve nine to 23 months in prison, pay costs, $50 to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Account and $10 restitution, and submit a DNA sample to law enforcement authorities.
Port Carbon police charged Strimboulis with robbing a man on Dec. 8, 2011, in Mechanicsville.
Strimboulis, whose parole had been revoked on two previous occasions, admitted violating her parole again by failing to report to her supervising officer, moving without permission, leaving her job, using marijuana, not providing a urine sample when requested and not making payments on her costs and fees.
Also on Wednesday, Dolbin revoked the parole of Monica M. Brown, 26, of Shenandoah, and returned her to prison to finish her sentence. She could remain in prison until March 30, 2017.
Brown originally pleaded guilty on June 18, 2014, to attempted theft in one case and possession of drug paraphernalia in the other. At that time, Dolbin sentenced her to serve two to 23 months in prison and pay costs, $100 to the Substance Abuse Education Fund and $100 in CJEA payments.
Tamaqua police charged Brown with trying to commit a theft on Nov. 22, 2013, in the borough, while Pottsville police alleged she possessed paraphernalia on Jan. 25, 2014, in the city.
Brown admitted violating her parole by failing to report to her supervising officer, moving without permission and using drugs.
Dolbin also revoked the parole of Kody A. Kirkland, 23, of Pottsville, who admitted violating it by failing drug tests and faking the submission of urine samples and returned him to prison, with no chance of reparole until July 3.
Kirkland originally pleaded guilty on Dec. 9, 2015, to theft of leased property.
Finally, Dolbin revoked the parole of Daniel W. Nye, 24, of Pottsville, and recommitted him to prison.
Dolbin acted after Nye admitted violating his parole by failing to report to his supervising officer and failing a drug test.
Nye originally pleaded guilty on July 24, 2013, to theft. At that time, Dolbin sentenced him to serve 12 months probation consecutive to his existing sentence and pay costs, a $50 CJEA payment, a $50 bench warrant fee and $80 restitution.
Tower City police charge Nye with committing the theft on Oct. 25, 2010, in the borough.
