Before being transferred to the jail, she was booked by the Roanoke County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday, just before 7 p.m.
On April 22, she was arrested in Florence, South Carolina, along Interstate 95 after she allegedly kidnapped her children.
In the car with her were her three children, 6-year-old Cameron Allison, 6-year-old Emma Allison and 21-month-old Colin Allison.
Earlier that day, an Amber Alert was issued for the three Roanoke County children as they were believed to be in extreme danger.
The alleged abduction began, Roanoke County police said, after members of the Department of Social Services attempted to serve Ruby’s husband, John, with a court order the prior day to take the kids away from he and Ruby. Why the court order was issued remains unknown.
