(KNZA)--A Horton woman facing charges in a Jackson County burglary case has entered into a plea agreement, canceling a jury trial that had been set this week in the case.
32-year-old Megan Hollister pleaded no contest last week in Jackson County District Court to a charge of burglary. In exchange for the plea, five additional counts were dismissed.
Sentencing was set for August 25th.
Authorities say Hollister and Shelby Hopkins, of Whiting, broke into a residence in Whiting last August and stole a number of electronic items.
Hopkins was arrested shortly after the burglary. She is currently serving an 18-month prison sentence after being convicted last October on charges of burglary and obstruction of official duty.
Hollister was placed on the “ Jackson County Most Wanted” list and remained at large until November 5th when she was arrested in Atchison after crashing a stolen pickup truck following a chase.
In January, Hollister was placed on 12-months probation in the Atchison County case on charges of theft, driving while suspended and fleeing and eluding.
