Delays hit sentencing for Allegan escapees
Brittany Nichols Rector and Laura Lee Grauman, who fled a Baldwin minimum security program, face postponed sentencing in Allegan County due to a sick judge and attorney emergency. Rector’s new date is July 15 for charges including second degree home invasion and meth lab counts, while Grauman’s sentencing for unlawful driving away and breaking and entering was reset after the May 20 and June 24 dates. The pair were captured in Canon City after escaping with two male accomplices in September.
