WILLIAMSON COUNTY — The following court cases were heard in Williamson County and overseen by State’s Attorney Brandon Zanotti:

A Carterville woman was recently sentenced to three years in the Illinois Department of Corrections for violating the terms of her probation on a previous theft conviction.

33-year-old Mandi Grammer committed retail theft against Casey’s General Store in Hurst on April 27, 2017. The theft was charged as a felony because Grammar had a prior theft conviction.

Grammer pled guilty to the theft charge in September 2018, and on December 7, 2018, was sentenced to probation and a 180-day county jail sentence. Grammer never showed up to the county jail to serve her sentence, and a petition to revoke her probation was filed.

A Williamson County judge then sentenced her to three years in state prison.
