Emily Wodiuk, 23, will serve three years in a state prison for habitually violating the terms of her probation, missing and failing several drug tests, breaking court-mandated curfew and other terms. She had a lengthy criminal record and was convicted on two felony fraud charges for writing thousands of dollars in bad checks for a wide range of items from snowmobiling to sushi.
Wodiuk, a valley resident, was given a suspended four-year prison sentence for that conviction. In February after she skipped a court date, she was apprehended and attempted to escape from Aspen police during her arrest. That incident landed her a misdemeanor obstruction charge.

Moses Greengrass was sentenced yesterday to three years in the Garfield County Community Corrections Center for felony cocaine possession. Greengrass, 27, will now go before a state parole board, which will sentence him for violating his parole from two felony convictions stemming from his role in a series of teenage armed robberies in 1999. That board will most likely sentence him to prison, a term he must serve before his years in community corrections.
Judge James Boyd handed down the sentence at the end of a contentious and emotional hearing, which was attended by Greengrass’s family and girlfriend.
