A Millinocket woman sentenced last week for shooting her husband as he lay in bed faces discipline for breaking the terms of her probation.

A hearing on the new allegation against Janice Nadeau, 35, was to have been held Thursday in Penobscot County Superior Court, but after a bench warrant was issued, authorities learned that Nadeau was hospitalized at Eastern Maine Medical Center.

Deputy District Attorney Michael P. Roberts said Thursday night that he therefore would not act on the warrant. The hearing will be rescheduled.

Nadeau pleaded guilty in June to a single felony charge of reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon in exchange for the dismissal of other charges, including attempted murder, in connection with the December 1989 shooting at her Pamola Park home.

Her husband, Mark Nadeau, was slightly injured in the incident and required no medical treatment. The couple now is in the process of getting a divorce.

Last Friday, she received a suspended sentence of three years in prison and was ordered to spend four years on probation.

One of several conditions of that probation was that she live with her sister unless she had the permission of probation officials to live elsewhere.

Roberts said he was seeking to revoke her probation because Nadeau never returned to her sister’s home, but instead went to live with a relative who lives near her husband.
