“She’s got herself caught up in a heavy felony prosecution,” says Lee Lockett, Katherine's attorney.

In court, they tell the judge that Katherine has signed and executed a deferred prosecution agreement. The standard terms of the agreement include cooperation with law enforcement, 15 hours of community service, and the cost to the state attorney’s office and the cost of the investigation.

“I’ll take this off the docket, and hopefully you will complete all the terms successfully,” the judge says to Katherine. “If you don’t successfully complete it, then you will be summoned to come back to court.”

As they leave the courthouse, Katherine says, “I think it went really well. I got the outcome that I really wanted, and everything was awesome.”

Attorney Lockett explains that once Katherine completes the terms, the state will drop the charges against her.
