More problems for Brenda Martin

Posted on Friday, December 4th, 2009

The former Trenton woman jailed in Mexico, and then returned to Canada to serve out her sentence at home, is in trouble with parole authorities.

A parole board document says the National Parole Board slapped stricter conditions on Brenda Martin after “recurring incidents of excessive alcohol consumption.”

Martin served two years in a Mexican prison after being convicted of taking cash from a Canadian convicted in 2006 in a 60-million-dollar scam, and she was returned to Canada in May, 2008, sent to a women’s prison in Kitchener, and then paroled within a week..

She was initially ordered to only disclose all financial dealings to her parole supervisor and not to associate with criminals, but the parole board imposed new conditions last week, because of difficulties recently encountered during her release.
