Acting judge William Wolff said Swink would remain on probation if she successfully completed the program.

Swink is on probation for assault on a police officer stemming from events before she was booked into the Montgomery County Jail in November 2015 and pepper sprayed by then-Sgt. Judith Sealey.
According to court documents, Swink has violated five conditions of her community control sanctions. They include leaving Ohio without permission, failing to provide verification of employment, failing to report to probation, using marijuana and failing to accomplish case plan objectives.
