Miles, who was just paroled for his other convictions in February and according to the Kansas Department of Corrections absconded from that parole.

Miles faces charges of theft or possession of stolen property, driving while suspended, failure to appear and violating his parole.

In court, his bond was increased to $7,500 after District Attorney Keith Schroeder noted that he may have the record for most stolen vehicles in Reno County saying it was more then 25.

Ashley Miles is charged with theft or possession of stolen property and asked for a bond reduction. However, she is facing a probation violation, so the judge decided against any change till she had time to visit with another judge over the probation violation. She told the judge she is supposed to start court ordered drug treatment on Wednesday.
She’ll also be back in court on May 9.
