A Peabody woman’s probation in four cases against her was revoked Friday, and she was taken to jail to await being taken to prison.
April N. Fore, 36, Peabody, repeatedly has been sentenced to probation in plea agreements in numerous cases filed since 2020. Other cases and charges within cases were dismissed as a result of those plea agreements.
Six cases were reinstated last week after alleged probation violations. When Fore appeared in court, she pleaded no contest in two renewed cases and was sentenced to prison. The balance of charges were dismissed.
A June 21, 2022 charge of battery was dismissed March 27.
May 13, 2022 charges of residential burglary, criminal trespass, and criminal damage to property resulted in her being sentenced July 24 to 35 days in jail followed by a year’s community corrections.
A charge of driving while her license was suspended, filed April 22, 2022, was dismissed March 27, 2023. The charge was reinstated March 27, and dismissed March 28 as part of a plea agreement in four cases. On March 29, the dismissal was withdrawn, and a motion to revoke her probation was filed.
She was charged June 2, 2021 with interference with law enforcement and battery of an officer. She pleaded no contest July 26, 2022, and was sentenced to a year’s community corrections. The charge was reinstated March 27 and dismissed March 28 as part of a plea agreement in four cases. On March 29 the dismissal was withdrawn, and a motion to revoke her probation was filed.
