Quincy Woman Services Jail Time for Encourage Daugther to Fight
QUINCY, Ill. (AP) -- An Adams County judge has handed down a 3 year prison sentence to a Quincy woman who encouraged her daughter during a videotaped fight with another girl and then became physically involved in the altercation.

In passing sentence Tuesday on 28 year old Jamie Cook, Circuit Court Judge Scott Walden said he found the videotape very hard to watch.

Cook pleaded guilty in June to aggravated battery in connection with her involvement in a videotaped fight between her daughter and another young girl in Quincy's Berrian Park.

Prosecutors say Cook was on probation for a felony bad checks conviction in Missouri when the fight took place March 15. She also has retail theft convictions out of Florida, a fraud conviction out of Peoria and a juvenile record.
