Amber decided to take the plea deal she was offered. She will be on 60 months of probation. She will not have anymore jail time but will have to go to a rehab. She will be released after an evaluation is done.
EOnline reports- "She'll be held in custody until Thursday. Then she'll be taken around 2 p.m. to Madison County Drug Court. If the drug court officials decide that Portwood is suitable for the drug rehab program, she will be released from custody and entered into the program. (The program is not inpatient and she would be allowed to live with her mother while in treatment.) Depending on what is determined on Thursday, she could be ordered to participate in the drug program for a minimum of 18 months and a maximum of three years. If at any time she fails to participate and complete the program, she could be sent to jail to serve the entire five-year stayed sentence. If the drug court decides she is not suitable for treatment, then Portwood would be allowed to return to court and withdraw her guilty pleas and have a trial on the probation violation and the drug possession charge."
Amber's mother, Tonya Portwood, does not agree with the 60 month probation. Tonya believe's they are using Amber as an example. Which I do agree with to a degree. Amber needs this help. But 60 month, 5 years, is a little extreme.
