(KNZA)--A Hiawatha woman has been sentenced to nearly 3 1/2 years in prison for her role in a teenage runaway case.
Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says 22-year-old Jaimie Wardrup was sentenced Monday in Brown County District Court to 29 months in prison on a felony charge of aggravated interference with parental custody and to 12 months in prison on a misdemeanor charge of contributing to a child's misconduct.
She was arrested April 26th in Arkansas with three teenage runaways from the Hiawatha area who disappeared the day before.
A pair a child-sex related charges were filed against Wardrup in a separate case following an investigation by the Hiawatha Police Department and after she was extradited to Kansas.
She was sentenced in September to 4 years in prison on charges of aggravated indecent liberties with a child and criminal sodomy in that case.
Hill says the new sentence is to be served at the same time as the sentence in the child sex case.
