JAIL: A mother's complaint

| January 18, 2017 12:00 AM

My son was sentenced to 25 days in jail beginning Dec. 5, for a misdemeanor. He faithfully showed up and served his time. Yet, on Jan. 5, three deputies showed up with a bench warrant and took him to jail for another day, saying he didn’t show up.

My complaint is that when I attempted to find out what the source of this warrant was, Blaine Horrocks failed to return a call, by either myself or my son’s attorney.

The least he could have done was to call back and apologize for issuing the warrant. This is public service at its worst. The public deserves better.
