 A former band teacher in Greenfield found herself behind bars again for failing to follow the terms of her probation.

Alison M. Peck, 25, pleaded guilty to several sex charges in Greene, Lawrence and Dade counties for having sex with a 16 year-old student.

In December of 2009 a judge sentenced Peck to five years probation and ordered she receive counseling and register as a sex offender.

Peck failed to meet two separate dates to register as a sex offender and a warrant was issued for her arrest.

Today Judge Calvin Holden said Peck had also been kicked out of counseling and failed drug tests and ordered that she be taken into custody and held on $75,000 bond.

Holden has three options available to him when Peck appears before him again next Friday.  He can order she serve 120 days shock incarceration, she be placed in a drug rehabilitation facility for 120 days or he can revoke her probation and send her to prison for five years.

In a civil suit filed by the family of the victim, Peck was ordered to pay $250,000 plus attorney's fees.  The insurance company for the Greenfield School District settled with the family for an undisclosed amount.
