(KNZA)--A Holton woman convicted of stealing two vehicles in Brown County last year will have to serve additional jail time before being placed on probation.

19-year-old Shelby Hopkins was sentenced Monday in Brown County District Court on charges in two separate cases.

In the first case, Hopkins was sentenced on charges of felony theft and criminal use of a financial card, and in the second case on a charge of felony theft.

Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says her request for immediate probation in the first case was denied and she will have to serve an additional 60 days in jail before being placed on 12-months supervised probation. In addition, she was ordered to pay restitution in both cases.

Hopkins pleaded no contest to the charges in January.

She turned herself in to authorities September 2nd on a Brown County warrant in connection with the theft of a Chevy Suburban stolen from downtown Hiawatha on July 30th.

She posted bond in the case, and then was taken into custody October 1st after a car stolen from Horton was recovered in Goff.

Hopkins has been held in the Brown County Jail since that time.
