A Gassville woman, who was originally charged with throwing her then 69-year-old grandmother to the floor and kicking her repeatedly in the face and head in 2017, was back in Baxter County Circuit Court Monday.
Thirty-five-year-old Brittany R. Brown pled no contest in late May 2018 to charges stemming from the attack on her relative and was put on probation for six years.
She was in court Monday facing the third revocation of her suspended sentence.
She was found to have violated the terms and conditions of her probation and was given a three-year prison sentence.
Brown wasted little time in violating probation the first time. The initial revocation petition was filed in late July 2018 about a month after she was sentenced alleging Brown failed to report to her supervising officer as directed, was no longer living at her approved address and had been avoiding all contact with her probation officer.

A Jordan man who has gotten in trouble twice for possessing or threatening to use firearms appeared in Baxter County Circuit Court Monday.
Forty-year-old Chris Brim was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to charges of being a felon in possession of a firearm. He was booked into the Baxter County jail to await transportation to the Arkansas Department of Correction.
His initial arrest came in mid-March 2019 and stemmed from his involvement in a heated dispute over possession of a pickup truck.
Brim was reported to have been to a residence along Baxter County County Road 419 on two occasions to try and retrieve the truck. The vehicle was registered to his mother and her estranged husband who were then living at the County Road 419 address.

BAXTER COUNTY, Ark. (KAIT) - Newly released documents reveal police warned a man and his family two years ago that if he continued to seek child pornography on the internet he would be arrested.
On Jan. 26, according to online court documents, Arkansas State Police arrested 22-year-old Joshua Daniel Koger of Mountain Home.
The arrest came a day after a Baxter County Circuit Court judge found probable cause to charge him with 72 counts of distributing, possessing, or viewing sexually explicit material involving a child.

A Flippin man who pled guilty to drug-related charges last year and was put on probation had his suspended sentence revoked during a session of Baxter County Circuit Court last Thursday.
Thirty-four-year-old Joshua Allen Bates was given three years in prison.
The revocation of the 10-year suspended sentence imposed in Baxter County was sought based largely on new charges in Marion County.
Bates has been charged in Marion County with assaulting his mother and not allowing her to leave her residence along Marion County Road 6065.
The mother told Marion County deputies that just prior to the physical and verbal attacks, her son’s “attitude and personality changed and he became a monster.”
