(KNZA)--A rural Horton woman sentenced to more than 3 years in prison for attacking her boyfriend with a tomahawk in late September is now facing additional charges.

23-year-old Ellen Keo was sentenced Friday in Brown County District Court on charges of aggravated battery, criminal possession of a weapon, and possession of marijuana. She was also ordered to pay more than $64,000 restitution.  The victim required hospitalized treatment for several serious injuries on his face.

Brown County Attorney Kevin Hill says Keo was found with a large knife on her person during the sentencing, which was safely removed.   

Following her sentencing, Keo was taken to the Brown County Jail where Hill says she was allegedly found to be possession of methampetamine and drug paraphernalia. Now Keo faces a felony count of traffic in contraband in a correctional facility along with possession of meth and drug paraphernalia.
