(KNZA)--A Mayetta woman has been sentenced to more than five years in prison following a violent incident last summer.

37-year-old Chellcie Sparks received a 64-month prison term in Jackson County District Court earlier this month after being convicted on seven charges, including aggravated battery, aggravated assault, criminal restraint, criminal damage to property, interference with law enforcement, and possession of methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia. She was acquitted on two other charges following a jury trial in February.

Authorities say Sparks intentionally struck a man riding a motorcycle with her pickup truck on June 30, 2025, injuring him, and fired multiple gunshots while threatening several others that same morning.

After serving her prison term, Sparks will be on one year of post-release supervision and required to register as a violent offender.

She also faces six misdemeanor charges for allegedly violating a protection order, with a hearing in that case scheduled for April 6.
