A Carson City woman, accused of stealing copper tubing from two Gardnerville lumber stores, is to appear Oct. 8 for a hearing in East Fork Justice Court.
Cara Sutton, 24, faces two counts of burglary in connection with the July 15 thefts from Meeks Lumber and Ace Lumber.
Justice Jim EnEarl appointed lawyer Derrick Lopez to represent Sutton after she said she couldn't afford to hire her own attorney.
A 21-year-old Gardnerville man was sentenced to 90 days in prison for his latest probation violation.
East Fork Justice Jim EnEarl sentenced Ryan Draucker on May 9 for domestic battery and placed him on probation.
He was arrested in July for using cocaine and sent to an in-patient treatment center.
His probation was reinstated in August, but he was arrested Sept. 21 in a traffic stop. Draucker was a passenger in the vehicle, but his blood-alcohol content was .151, nearly twice the legal limit for driving in Nevada.
Even though he wasn't behind the wheel, drinking alcohol was a violation of his probation.
"You're figuring out how to go to prison. You have no idea what prison is like," EnEarl said. "Nobody seems to be getting through to you."
EnEarl gave Draucker credit for 30 days served in Douglas County Jail.
A 26-year-old Gardnerville Ranchos woman, who admitted stealing drugs from another patient while she was in a treatment program, was sentenced Wednesday to six months in Douglas County Jail.
East Fork Justice Jim EnEarl revoked probation for Robin Stafford, sentenced in August for her second driving under the influence offense.
"I've done everything I know how to get you to turn your life around," EnEarl said. "By saving other lives on the road for six months, I'll save yours."
Stafford was kicked out of drug rehabilitation after she took methadone and Adderall from another patient. Both drugs contain amphetamine.
A hearing was continued to Oct. 1 for Maude Cox, 50, accused of trafficking in methamphetamine.
The Jacks Valley woman was arrested in July with two others and charged with trafficking in a controlled substance and conspiracy to violate the Uniform Controlled Substances Act.
East Fork Justice Jim EnEarl said he would relax the terms of Cox's house arrest so she could go to work if she could come up with $300 for monitoring fees.
"I don't know that you did this, they've got to prove it. Don't do anything stupid," he said.
"It would be worse," Cox replied.
