Gary Conley – Defendant  appeared in custody. Had been in traffic court some time ago and plead guilty to speeding violation. He had been given 12 hours of community service.
Defendant had then turned in documentation that community service had been completed. But it had been discovered that he did not actually complete the community service. The documentation was fraudulent. The signatures on the document were forgeries according to the one who would normally have signed the form, the Judge said.
The Judge stated that this was not the only instance of this issue. He said that he had solid information that Michelle Davis had forged these documents in place of the authorized party.
Defendant insisted that he knew nothing about it. The Judge then threatened to set the matter for a hearing and bring in the person who was purported to have signed the form to testify that it was fraudulent. He warned that if that testimony showed that the Defendant had turned in a fraudulent community service sheet he would find him in contempt of court.
The Defendant then admitted that the document had been false. He was sentenced to 25 days in jail for contempt of court. After his release, Defendant was instructed he must then complete the real community service hours that he had been sentenced to and turn in valid documentation to that effect.
