FALLON - A Fallon woman, placed on probation for supplying alcohol for her teen-aged daughter's party in January 2008, was sentenced Tuesday in both Justice Court and District Court for violating terms of her probation.
Tami Peel was given six months in the county jail by visiting Justice of the Peace Richard Glasson and five additional months incarceration by District Court Judge David Huff.
Peel received a 45-day sentence from Glasson on April 20 for five counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and she was given five six-month suspended sentences to run consecutively if she violated terms of her probation. She also was given a one-year suspended sentence from Huff with the requirement she serve 30 days in jail.
Peel admitted to violating terms of her probation to Glasson, who presided over the case via teleconference from Tahoe Justice Court.
Senior Deputy Attorney General Ronda Clifton called Peel's action of checking into the county jail while intoxicated May 24 to serve her Justice Court sentence "nothing more than a slap in the face."
