Law and Order policy
Information that appears in this
column is compiled from the
Plumas County Sheriff's Office'
activity log, the county correc:
tional center's booking log and
California Highway Patrol press
releases. The Sheriff's Blotter
shows initial charges. In some in-
stances the charges may change
after the dispatch report. We do
not report suspects' names in ar-
rests for public intoxication or
drunken driving unless accompa-
nied by another serious charge,
such as probation violation, a ve-
hicle accident or another felony.
The fact that someone has been
arrested and charged with a
crime does not constitute guilt.
The case may never appear in
court if the district attorney de-
termines there is insufficient evi-
dence to prosecute. The fact that
someone was involved in an au-
tomobile collision does not con-
stitute liability or fault. Minors
are named as le0al-age drivers at
16, unless they are charged with
a crime in conjunction with an in-
cident. The CHP determines
whether injuries are Character-
ized as minor, moderate or fatal.
