A woman wanted for failing to surrender to the Schuylkill County Prison was found and taken to prison Thursday.
Francis Gallen, a bail bondsmen with ABC Bail Bonds, Reading, said Tammy J. McShaw was captured in Pottsville.
"She was found, I believe, at 301 Spring Garden St. in Pottsville," he said.
Gallen said he was not the one who took her to the prison Thursday. She did not resist arrest as far as he knows, but that she was possibly found hiding in a closet. She was apprehended between noon and 12:30 p.m., he said.
Warden Gene Berdanier said she was in prison and arrived at 1:10 p.m.
Phone calls to Chief County Detective Dennis Clark were not returned Thursday. District Attorney Karen Byrnes-Noon had left for the day, an employee of the office said.
McShaw was wanted for failure to appear to serve her sentence June 3.
She was sentenced to serve six to 12 months in prison in May by Schuylkill County President Judge William E. Baldwin.
In March, she pleaded guilty to a count each of possession of drug paraphernalia, retail theft, conspiracy and attempted possession of a controlled substance. She also pleaded guilty to three counts of the possession of a controlled substance, according to Republican-Herald archives.
That plea stems from charges filed by Pottsville police alleging that on Oct. 4, 2011, she tried to obtain drugs, and possessed drugs and paraphernalia on May 1, 2012, and possessed drugs and committed theft on July 21, 2012.
McShaw was also ordered to submit a DNA sample to law enforcement authorities, pay costs, $200 to the Substance Abuse Education Fund and $54.49 restitution.
