Court Notes -- week ending September 21

Magistrate's Court

(Editor's note: The Mountain Home News reports all items released by the court each week. Readers should note, however, that some cases may be quite old. Any time there is a change in status of a case, such as a withheld judgement successfully or unsuccessfully completed, or a probation violation that results in all or part of a suspended sentence being executed, or a number of other factors, some quite minor, the case will be kicked back out by the courts and show up in the reports, usually without an explanation of what the change was.)
