A wanted woman who was originally lived in Louisa and has been a fugitive hiding from local law enforcement for the majority of 2017 after failing to appear at her ordered dates in Lawrence County Court resulting in bench warrants issued against her; was caught by city cops in neighboring Johnson County, and is now facing new criminal charges there as well.
Shirley Vincell, 29, whose address is currently listed as Thelma, Ky, a rural community in eastern Johnson County, was arrested in Paintsville in the early AM hours of Thursday morning October 26 on several charges as well as for outstanding bench warrants.
Vincell was taken into custody by officer Zachary Stapleton of the Paintsville Police Department. She was served with • 3 WARRANTS (FOR OTHER POLICE AGENCY), and also a charge of • BAIL JUMPING 1ST DEGREE.
Shirley Vincell’s Lawrence County warrants as well as the felony bail jumping charge are for being bonded out and then not appearing in court to answer for 11 felony and misdemeanor criminal charges from 6 arrests in Lawrence County between July 2015 to February 2016.
But now Shirley Vincell has sunk into deeper criminal water as she is facing new charges stemming from being busted in Painstville.
Shirley Vincell was slapped after her arrest by the Paintsville City Police Department on four new charges of: • POSSESSION CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE 1ST DEGREE, 1ST OFFENSE (METHAMPHETAMINE), • ILLEGAL POSSESSION PRESCRIPTION BLANKS 2ND OR SUBSEQUENT OFFENSE, • PROMOTING CONTRABAND – 1ST DEGREE, • PUBLIC INTOXICATION-CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE (EXCLUDES ALCOHOL).
Vincell will remain lodged in Big Sandy Regional Detention Center in Paintsville, until her new court hearing dates can be scheduled in Lawrence County, and now Johnson County in the weeks ahead; and likely will remain incarcerated well into the 2018 year until her court cases have come to their legal conclusion.
