crime lands man a year in jail
November 6, 2007 | LOGAN -- Monday in 1st District
Court, Martin Ortiz Gonzalez was sentenced to 364 days
in the Cache County Jail with the privilege of work
release. Gonzalez had used a firearm as a threat, and
prosecutor Maybell Romero felt that he was a danger
to himself and to others. He is expected to report to
the court at 6 p.m. Wednesday to begin his sentence.
Gonzalez has been attending the IOP program at the
Bear River Health Department, he has disposed of his
firearms, and has recently had an exemplary letter from
his employer issued to the court.
When asked for any comments, Gonzalez said, "I would
like to thank the court and my boss and I would like
to apologize for all of the inconvenience."
The court will hold a review hearing at 1:30 p.m.
May 5 to decide whether Gonzalez must remain in jail.
