Wow! Twenty-three miles over the limit violation is just wiped away with a $10 fine? Does this really happen often in Calloway County?

[huh]

all the time. to be honest, the guy got a pretty harsh sentence. most possession cases cases get suspended sentence. i'm surpirsed he's serving any time at all.

Got off a little to easy if you ask me!!

And I hope people remember this and bring this situation up the time when it comes around if it ever does.*sorry to bother you sir* is exactly what THIS situation sounds like to me!

Im curious about the amount of Weed? And was this his first offense? Does he have a prior record? These things are all revalent concerning his sentence. In saying this if this was a first offense 30 days is excessive for Misd. Possesion. Typically first offense for this would have been NO TIME or a couple days. And a fine

I believe it said three days. They consolidated some of the drug charges into the possession. Twenty-seven miles over the limit was knocked down to a $10 equipment violation. That's the part that most people I know think is a bit soft.

why does it have to be titled,sheriffs son .he did nothing wrong his son did. that would be like them saying local cleaning ladys son . who cares whos son. they are people like everyone else

[concerned citizen]

Has anyone thought that maybe he sold someone else down the road for a lighter sentence for himself?
It seems to be the ONLY way things are done around here. I don't know about anyone else but I couldn't live myself after doing someone like that.
Take what's coming to you and shut up I say.

He got a bit of the harsh end. I mean, I only got 3 days for a DUI, marijuana possession, and drug paraphernalia. Then an extra week for being homeless.
