[July 01, 2010] PADUCAH, Ky. (AP) -- A western Kentucky woman's attempt to get her son out of jail on bond came undone over a misspelling.

The Paducah Sun reported court officials became suspicious when the 44-year-old mother presented a letter allegedly from Wagner Moving and Storage. The woman knew bond for her son would be lowered if he had written proof of a job. But the company name was misspelled and when investigators checked, they learned the woman had asked for such a letter from the company and had been denied. She was jailed Tuesday on a charge of evidence tampering. Her son was charged with receiving stolen property. They both were in jail Wednesday in lieu of cash bonds. ___ Information from: The Paducah Sun, http://www.paducahsun.com/ |
