Handling a difficult tenant - Missouri

I have a tenant which is been evicted. The legal process is taking some time with court date of July 11. At the mean time she is causing nuisance and causing problems with other tenants (saying stuffs, throwing trash, damaging their properties etc). Other tenants are threatening to get out of their leases if she is still there. Anything I as landlord can do to expedite the eviction process or any other alternatives? She has already had some damages in the unit and will do more and most likely won't pay for any of those. She is Sec 8 tenant. 

Appreciate any insights into how to handle this situation.

@Ram Wagle I would call and talk to the Magistrate or place you filed the eviction and explain the problem and see what they say.

I would let the Section 8 office know what is going on. I doubt if they can help any though.

If she is damaging property call the police.
