New Kent woman receives three months in jail after violating terms of First Offender Program

A New Kent woman has been formally found guilty of possession of a Schedule I/II substance after violating the terms of the First Offender Program.

Barbara Ann Toney, 49, of the 9800 block of Essex Hills Road, received the formal conviction as part of Monday proceedings in New Kent Circuit Court.

During a June 15 trial, Toney accepted the terms of a plea deal to the aforementioned drug possession charge and misdemeanor DWI (first offense). During that trial, evidence presented indicated that on Aug. 27, 2025, a New Kent deputy was dispatched to an incident on New Kent Highway about an individual showing signs of public intoxication. When the deputy arrived, they were approached by emergency personnel who were treating an individual, later identified as Toney. Emergency personnel told the officer that they discovered Toney behind the wheel of a running car that was on the side of the road. A K-9 unit arrived on scene and conducted a free air sniff, positively identifying drugs in the car. A search of Toney’s vehicle yielded the discovery of a glass pipe. The defendant admitted that she used the device to smoke crack cocaine.

Toney was placed in the First Offender Program to provide an opportunity for her to have the charge dismissed after the year-long probation. However, Toney violated the terms and received her formal conviction during Monday’s trial.

Toney received a five-year sentence with four years, nine months suspended (three months to serve). She was previously sentenced to 12 months with all time suspended on the misdemeanor DWI conviction and was fined $1,000 with $500 of that amount suspended.
