ABERDEEN, Miss. (WTVA) -- A woman on federal probation for her role in a scheme to defraud Golden Triangle Crimestoppers is back in federal custody.

A federal judge ordered Shawanda Holliday, 25, of Aberdeen held by U. S. Marshals until a revocation hearing can take place on Friday.

Holliday was among three people accused of making false reports to Crimestoppers and receiving payouts of nearly $18.000 from the organization between 2004 and 2008.

She was originally given three years probation after pleading guilty in 2009.

Her probation was revoked in September of 2011 and she was ordered to serve four months in prison and an additional three years probation.

On Wednesday, a federal judge set a revocation hearing for Friday at 10 a.m. in U. S. District Court in Aberdeen.
