FAYETTEVILLE -- The second of three women accused of stealing vehicles from area car lots pleaded guilty Tuesday in Washington County Circuit Court.

Darreon Jordan, 22, of 986 W. Bob Place pleaded guilty to accomplice to theft of property and two probation revocations. Circuit Judge Joanna Taylor sentenced Jordan to 20 years in prison with 18 years suspended. The sentence will be served at a community punishment facility. Sentences related to the revocations will run concurrently with the theft sentence.

Jordan told the judge she and the other women took a car for a test drive April 25 and never took it back.

"You're a grown woman and raising kids yourself, you know you weren't supposed to take that car and keep it," Taylor told Jordan. "You're no good to your children when you're in the Department of Correction."

Lacy J. Black, also known as Lacy J. Wright, 28, of Clarksville, pleaded guilty Aug. 10 to being an accomplice to theft of property and to violating terms of probation from a possession of drug paraphernalia conviction in 2011.

Black was sentenced to 20 years at the Arkansas Department of Correction with 18 years suspended. The sentence is to be served at a regional punishment facility.

Tiana Wilson, 26, of 1947 Davis Road in Springdale has a Sept. 22 court date.

Police said the women went to three car lots, asked to test drive a vehicle, then stole the keys and vehicles. The vehicles were found at an apartment complex in Fayetteville, police said.
