Woman sentenced for shooting, standoff
A woman committed to the mental hospital after allegedly firing shots at her ex-boyfriend in Beloit was sentenced to probation with jail time for the incident.
Karen A. Tiffany, 46, of the 1900 block of Kellogg Avenue in Janesville, was sentenced to 10 years probation for first degree reckless endangerment and to three years probation, to be served concurrently, for failure to comply with an officer's attempt to take her into custody.
She also will serve one year in jail concurrently for each count.
The incident occurred Nov. 14 in the 1800 block of Chippewa Trail, Beloit. A man identified as Tiffany's ex-boyfriend told police she had become jealous of attention other women were giving him at a bar that evening and threw things at him before firing a gun.
