Kayla Eve Jebeaux found herself "caught up" on more than one occasion.
The 30-year-old appeared in the Bonnyville Provincial Courthouse via CCTV from the Edmonton Remand Centre on Tuesday to speak to a list of charges stemming from multiple incidents.
The first took place on May 26. Police were called at 4:15 a.m. from a resident who woke up to the sound of people talking outside of her bedroom window only to discover they were attempting to break into her shed.
The resident chased down the suspects and caught Jebeaux, who was holding a fire poker.
According to St. Paul's chief Crown prosecutor Jordan Kerr, the homeowner held Jebeaux until police arrived.
Just over a month later, at 10:36 a.m. on June 30, RCMP were dispatched to a woman stuck in a chain link fence in town.
When officers arrived they identified the suspect as Jebeaux, who was arrested. During a search of her belongings, they found a baggy containing less than a gram of methamphetamine.
At the time of the arrest, Jebeaux was on an undertaking, as a result of her previous break and enter charges, not to possess or consume any drugs.
She was still under those conditions on July 21, when police were contacted about a female lying on the ground in front of a Bonnyville residence with a bicycle laughing.
Officers located Jebeaux, who was wanted on warrants, tangled in her bicycle and high on meth.
During her appearance in court, Jebeaux pleaded guilty to two counts of failing to comply with the conditions of her undertaking, possession of a controlled substance, failing to attend court, and break and enter.
The joint submission presented by the Crown and defence was for 90 days imprisonment and one-year probation.
According to Jebeaux's counsel, Hart Spencer, these offences are "fuelled by her addiction."
As of Tuesday, Sept. 17, Jebeaux had served 62 days of her sentence, which works out to 93 pre-trial days.
Jebeaux wants to use her probation to get the supports she needs to overcome her addiction.
The conditions of her probation order include keep the peace, be of good behaviour, have no contact with the break and enter victim, not to be intoxicated in a public place, and attend any treatment and counselling as recommended by her probation officer.
Honourable Judge Kathleen Williams agreed to the joint submission, and Jebeaux was released from custody on these charges.
