A Shenandoah woman returned to prison Monday, and could remain there more than a year, after a Schuylkill County judge revoked her parole for the second time.

Tiffany M. Jadus, 25, violated her parole, Judge Charles M. Miller ruled.

Miller ordered Jadus recommitted to prison, with a new maximum date of June 7, 2015, and no chance for reparole. He also directed Jadus to undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation.

Jadus originally pleaded guilty on Dec. 12, 2012, to theft and receiving stolen property. At that time, Miller sentenced her to spend 28 days to 23 months in prison, pay costs, $50 to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Account and $248 restitution, amounts Jadus still must pay under the terms of Monday's order, and perform 10 hours community service.

Shenandoah police charged Jadus with committing the theft on Aug. 4, 2011, in the borough.

Miller had revoked Jadus' parole on April 30, 2013.

Also on Monday, Miller revoked the parole of Edward J. Simon, 47, of Mahanoy City, and ordered him returned to prison until at least Aug. 30 without the chance for a new parole.

Simon could remain in prison until July 31, 2015, under the terms of Miller's order.

Simon originally pleaded guilty to three counts of harassment and one each of retail theft, simple assault and terroristic threats, with prosecutors withdrawing two additional counts of terroristic threats and one additional count of harassment, plus one count each of receiving stolen property, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.

At that time, Miller sentenced Simon to serve six to 23 months in prison and pay costs, $175 in fines and $100 in CJEA payments, amounts he still must pay under the terms of Monday's order.

Mahanoy City police filed both sets of charges against Simon, alleging he committed retail theft, simple assault and harassment on Feb. 26, 2012, in the borough, and terroristic threats and harassment on July 7, 2012, also in the borough.

In another county court case, Jacob C. Marion, 20, of Shamokin Dam, lost a chance to have his record cleared when he pleaded guilty Friday to possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Judge Cyrus Palmer Dolbin accepted Marion's plea and sentenced him to time served to 12 months in prison with immediate parole, to pay costs, $100 to the Substance Abuse Education Fund, a $50 CJEA payment and a $213.75 bench warrant fee, and to perform 20 hours community service.

Rush Township police had charged Marion with possessing marijuana and paraphernalia on Oct. 20, 2012.

President Judge William E. Baldwin had issued a bench warrant for Marion on March 10 after the defendant had failed to appear in court on Feb. 20 to be admitted into the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program. If Marion had entered and successfully completed that program, the charges against him would have been dismissed and he could have had his record expunged.
