A Vilonia woman who is apparently an advocate of sharing her drug advocacy message with several Arkansas counties made a trip back from the McPherson Unit at Newport to face charges this week for Possession of Methamphetamine and Drug Paraphernalia stemming from a June, 2020 arrest.
Before Sebastian County could get Valerie Greenbush (aka Valerie Sirk) a court date, the thirty-six year-old got sent to the state women's lock-up on similar charges on July 24 of last year. Coming out of Faulkner County, Greenbush drew a pair of concurrent 24-month sentences on drug and paraphernalia charges.
She now heads back to Newport with another conviction, two years imposed with 13 years suspended with a plus-four-year tag as a habitual offender.
Habitual, you say? Greenbush first went to the pokey back in 2015 on more drug and paraphernalia convictions that occurred within eight days of each other in April of that year. She also has open or reopened cases for theft and drug arrests in Faulkner, POulaski and Sebastian counties as well. All of those came in 2019 and the Covid 19 pandemic kept her out of the court for almost a year.
She also had three previous felony drug arrests that weren't prosecuted as well as two in which she drew probation in one and more probation and a 90-day sentence in a local facility in another.
Greenbush failed to earn parole at the first PE/TE date last year in December.
