A Pottsville woman is headed to state prison after being sentenced Monday for endangering a child.
Bria M. Jacoby, 27, must serve eight to 24 months in a state correctional institution, Judge Charles M. Miller decided.
Miller imposed the sentence after revoking Jacoby’s probation for a second time.
Jacoby originally pleaded no contest on Aug. 23, 2012, to endangering the welfare of children. On Oct. 17, 2012, Miller placed her on probation for 12 months, and also sentenced her to pay costs and $50 to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Account.
By pleading no contest, Jacoby did not admit committing the crime, but offered no defense to the charge, acknowledged prosecutors had sufficient evidence to prove her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and agreed to be sentenced as if she had pleaded or been found guilty.
Schuylkill Haven borough police charged Jacoby with endangering the child on Jan. 3, 2012, in the borough.
On Jan. 9, 2015, Miller revoked Jacoby’s original probation, but placed her on probation for an additional 24 months. At that time, Jacoby promised Miller he never would see her again in court.
