Case 3: Detained and Disciplined
Location: Alabama County Jail

Summary
Bubba Hurt was arrested for Assault and Criminal Mischief and Booked into the Alabama County Jail. Bubba was released on bond and given a return court date for his arraignment before a judge. The police report was sent to the district attorney’s office for review. Assistant District Attorney Buzz Lockup reviewed the reports and witness statements and charged Bubba Hurt with aggravated assault and criminal mischief in the third degree.

At the arraignment Judge Nathan Hammer informs Bubba of the charges and the maximum penalty if convicted and found guilty. Bubba states to Judge Hammer that he cannot afford an attorney, so the judge assigns Public Defender Scott Law. The case is sent to the grand jury for review. The grand jury finds there is enough evidence to indict Bubba for both the aggravated assault and criminal mischief charges. A trial date is set for Bubba’s case.
