Lawrence woman receives probation for New Year’s Day assault at Burrito King

A 29-year-old Lawrence woman was sentenced Friday in Douglas County District Court to two years on probation for her involvement in a New Year’s Day assault at Burrito King, 900 Illinois St.

Kristin E. Silva, one of two defendants in the case, pleaded no contest in October to one charge of aggravated battery as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors. Silva was accused of assaulting a woman in the drive-through lane.

The co-defendant in the case, April A. Jones, 25, pleaded no contest in September to a similar charge and also received two years’ probation.
