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.
In other court action, 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.
