She was sentenced to 12 months and one day of a prison-based Drug Offender Sentencing Alternative, or DOSA. 

Barnard was charged June 30 with residential burglary, theft of a motor vehicle, second-degree theft and second-degree assault and was ordered held on $100,000 bail. 



According to court documents, deputies from the Lewis County Sheriff’s Office responded May 4 to a report of a burglary in the 100 block of Lacey Lane in Toledo.
