Heather Ellis admitted guilt to disturbing the peace and resisting arrest late Friday, entering into a plea bargain with the State of Missouri following a trial that has lasted three days.
The prosecution agreed to drop two felony counts of assault on a law enforcement officer through the plea deal, while Ellis agreed to a plea of guilt regarding the two misdemeanor charges of disturbing the peace and resisting arrest.
The terms of the deal include the sentence that Ellis must serve one year of unsupervised probation, attend at least two hours of anger management classes and serve four days in the Dunklin County Jail, which Judge Joe Satterfield referred to as "Shock Detention."
Additional details, including when Ellis will begin her probation, as well as, when she will be required to serve jail time, should be decided through the court soon.
Ellis is also required to pay court costs and other expenses relating the jury and the trial as a whole. Details on those fees will also be determined at a later time. The Daily Dunklin Democrat will issue a full report on the trial, including witness testimony in the Sunday print edition. The full report will also be available online.
