When Tarbutton appeared in court last month, she gave "yes" and "no" answers to the judge's questions and admitted to prior harassment and retaliation charges.
She admitted to shooting a semi-automatic weapon out of a car window as she and co-defendant, 29-year-old Michael Cuellar drove down Memorial Drive and Highway 6 in September.
