A Vancouver woman accused of stealing from her blind son in 2011 has been kicked out of a Clark County criminal diversion program, which would have allowed her to avoid a felony conviction.
Hazel E. Trent, 52, had a moment of fame in 2012 when she appeared on CBS’s “Swift Justice with Jackie Glass” to resolve a civil suit her son filed. Trent brought her service Chihuahua when she appeared on the show.
According to prosecutors, Trent failed to make payments toward $800 in restitution and $1,000 in diversion program fees.
The diversion program dismisses criminal charges in exchange for staying out of trouble for a year and paying restitution and court and attorney fees. It’s generally offered to first-time offenders charged with nonviolent offenses.
