PROVO, UT - It didn't make much sense to Utah County Commissioner Steve White: A man had served 157 days in the county jail for public intoxication. The man had been arrested in Provo and charged with the class C misdemeanor while on his way to catch a bus to Grand Junction, Colo., where he planned to check into an alcohol treatment center. The man had just picked up a check at the Social Security office and stopped by the state liquor store on his way out of town, White said. That offended the judge, the commissioner said, and the man was then sentenced to 180 days in jail. "Instead of the (police) officer taking the bottle and emptying it into the gutter and putting him on the bus, (the man) ended up spending six months in jail at a cost of nothing to Provo city," White said. Total cost to the county: $15,000. Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
