Following a tearful morning in court, a Caledonia woman is in jail after allegedly failing to abide by the terms of her release under supervision while awaiting sentencing for burglary in the second degree.

Nicole L. Green, 23, cried before Judge Robert Noonan entered the courtroom, weeped during a brief hearing, and cried while hugging a companion before being led away by a bailiff.

Green pled guilty Aug. 31 to burglary after being accused of stealing jewelry and guns from a friend's house in Le Roy. She also reportedly refused to return a borrowed car.

This morning, Green was not sentenced on that conviction.

Green, whom her attorney said is pregnant, reportedly missed appointments with Genesee Justice and failed to pass substance-use tests.

Attorney Ann Connor told Judge Noonan that because of her pregnancy, Green should be allowed to remain free, but Noonan flatly rejected the suggestion.

"The pregnancy would be at higher risk at liberty than in custody," Noonan said.

Poor little unborn baby. How sad. I hope the little one will remain safe "in jail." Makes my heart sad to hear this stuff. Stories like this open up a whole can of worms. I'm shaking my head...

Making sure I hug & love my 5 yr. old extra tight tonight. As I always do!!

She stole from a friend? A judge was nice enough to release her on certain conditions and she couldn't even stay clean? She's using while pregnant? This girl has issues. Good grief woman, get your act together!
