A Marshall woman is expected to spend 11 years in prison for her role in a string of burglaries last spring.

35-year-old Ashley Nicole Adams was sentenced Monday, Jan. 12 to seven years for four of the eight counts she pleaded guilty to in November, along with lesser sentences on three other counts. While she’ll serve concurrent sentences for admitting to being an accessory to the theft of two motor vehicles and two second-degree burglaries, the sentence for possessing burglary tools will run consecutively, meaning that Adams will serve an additional four years in the Missouri Department of Corrections.

According to a probable cause statement from the Saline County Sheriff’s Office, Adams had been in the vicinity of a farm in southern Saline County where a truck was stolen from a field on May 13. That truck was located the morning of May 15 by Marshall police north of Eastwood Street, containing documents believed to be from a safe stolen from a residence, as well as jewelry and display cases from a Marshall business that had been burglarized that morning. A week later, deputies responded to an address in Napton where a second pickup had been reported stolen. Shortly after an attempted burglary was reported May 22, the truck was located a couple miles away, where deputies say Adams was sitting in the driver’s seat. She had told deputies that she was driving the truck for someone else. According to the statement, a search of the truck found a police scanner, tools, a drone, and license plates belonging to another vehicle.

A man believed to be Adams’ accomplice in the burglaries, 34-year-old Robert Dalton Scharnhorst, is facing seven felony charges across four different cases. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for the afternoon of Jan. 21.
