(KNZA)--A Sabetha woman convicted in a May 2017 Hiawatha home invasion has been sentenced to 120 days in prison after she was found to have violated the terms of her probation.

24-year-old Jazmene Hicks was recently handed the sentence in Brown County District Court after being arrested February 28th for a probation violation.

Hicks will be placed on 12-months supervised probation after serving the prison time.

She had been given a suspended 56-month prison sentence in November on four counts and placed on 36-months supervised probation.

Co-defendant, Edgar Martinez, was sentenced in November to 5 ½ years in prison on three felony counts.

A third defendant in the case, 28-year-old Bern resident Oscar Martinez, was extradited to Brown County last month from the state of Nebraska where he had been held on separate charges.

Martinez faces felony counts of aggravated robbery, aggravated burglary and aggravated battery along with a misdemeanor count of criminal restraint.

A preliminary hearing for Martinez was continued this week at the request of his attorney to May 16th .

He remains in the Brown County Jail, held on a $100,000 bond.
