QUINCY — A Quincy woman facing charges in multiple cases is being considered for the Adams County Problem-Solving Court.

Kimberly A. Brown, 21, of Quincy has two ongoing felony cases as well as two separate misdemeanor cases open in Adams County court, with charges ranging from domestic battery and aiding a fugitive to disorderly conduct and resisting an officer or corrections employee.

Public Defender Betsy Bier told Judge Tad Brenner on Tuesday that the initial process of having Brown’s cases moved to the Problem-Solving Court has begun, with Bier requesting that the cases currently set for the June trial docket be stricken from that list and the next hearing for Brown be set for June 2.

Brown is facing three Class 4 felony charges which, if convicted on any of them, could see her sentenced to as much as three years in state prison. The charges are eligible for probation, as well.

In Adams County, Problem-Solving Court programs are an alternative to jail where participants and staff say they should not be considered something that lets a person off easy. The programs is considered an intensive probation effort that includes treatment services deemed appropriate by the probation department as well as drug screenings and other terms as the court requires.
