No-contact order against Luyster’s girlfriend amended

A no-contact order against Andrea Sibley, the girlfriend of triple-homicide suspect Brent Luyster, was modified Thursday to state that she can’t “knowingly or intentionally” contact the victims’ families or the surviving victim.

Sibley, 28, was accused of violating the no-contact order earlier this month and was arrested by officers with the Department of Corrections.

She was sentenced to a year of community custody in September 2016 for rendering criminal assistance to Luyster. Sibley picked up and drove away with him after he allegedly fatally shot three people and wounded a fourth July 15, 2016, at a rural home southeast of Woodland.

A condition of her sentence is that she can’t have contact with any family of the shooting victims or the surviving victim, and is prohibited from coming within 1,000 feet of their home, workplace and school, according to court documents.

However, Sibley reportedly stopped at a local convenience store, where a family member of one of the shooting victims works, court records state.

Because her community supervision was slated to end days after her arrest, there wasn’t enough time for DOC to schedule a violation hearing. She served the remaining time of her supervision in the Clark County Jail and then was released.

Her attorney, Jeff Sowder, had argued that she didn’t intentionally or knowingly violate the order and sought that the language in the order be more specific. Judge Robert Lewis agreed that the order needed some clarification. The order was modified to include the language “knowingly and intentionally,” prosecutors said.
