LUNSFORD WILL REMAIN IN JAIL AFTER PROBATION VIOLATIONS

(08/17/2013)
Lena Lunsford, the mother of a missing 3-year-old Lewis County girl, will remain in jail after violating her probation for a third time.

U.S. Magistrate James Seibert has revoked Lunsford's probation.

The magistrate said that Lunsford was "sternly warned" about imprisonment and a contempt-of-court after her second arrest last month.

Lunsford was warned numerous times to stay away from a convicted felon who fathered her eighth child, yet to be born.

Lunsford served eight months in jail for welfare fraud.
