A KIDDERMINSTER woman vanished for more than 12 months after being put on probation, Worcester Crown Court was told.
Tina Worrall was supposed to report to a drug rehabilitation centre in Sheffield but did not even collect her travel documents, said Jason Aris, prosecuting.
A warrant was issued but she was not arrested until August this year.
Worrall, aged 30, of Jubilee Drive, Foley Park, was jailed for nine months after admitting breach of a community rehabilitation order.
The initial sentence was imposed on April 7, last year, when she admitted stealing small items from shops. She also admitted using threatening behaviour.
David Watson, defending, said there had been a great transformation in her life.
She had rebuilt the relationship with her daughter and broken the drugs culture which had been responsible for persistent offending.
