DATELINE: LEWISBURG, W. VA. LENGTH: Short
Greenbrier County Circuit Judge Charles Lobban signed an order that told Tracy Lippard to report to the sheriff, Greenbrier County Prosecutor Richard Lorensen said Friday. She is then to be taken to the Southern Regional Jail in Beaver, Raleigh County.
The state Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected Lippard's appeal, 5-0.
Lippard's attorney, George Yates of Virginia Beach, Va., said he would file additional motions and seek to have his client remain free on bond while they are considered.
Lippard can ask the court to reconsider its decision, but she was freed only until the Supreme Court made its ruling, Lorensen said.
Lippard, 24, of Newport News, Va., has an unlisted telephone number and could not be reached for comment.
A jury last November found Lippard guilty of two counts of second-degree attempted murder and five other misdemeanors. Felony charges of attempted murder with the use of a firearm were dismissed.
She was sentenced in January to up to two years in prison for the February 1994 attack on the family of Melissa Weikle Scott of Lewisburg.
Melissa Scott was pregnant by Todd Scott, formerly of High Point, N.C., and now of Lewisburg. He was Lippard's former boyfriend.
Lippard crowned her successor as Miss Williamsburg in February 1994, then drove 250 miles to Lewisburg, where she talked her way into the Weikle home. She said she wanted to confront Scott to determine if he wanted her or Melissa Scott, who then was Melissa Weikle.
She denied she intended to assault the Weikles.
