Black Back in Trouble

It would seem that being charged with a crime would not necessarily cause most people to straighten up and fly right. There are those people who will not only go out and do the same thing again, but will not serve the terms of their sentence or follow those rules that kept them out of jail in the first place. Twin Falls resident Dale Robert Black is one of those people.
 
Black had been charged with unlawful possession of slot machines last November, and was sentenced. He was put on probation at that time. The Pioneer Club was raided by police after a long and detailed undercover investigation by police, and they seized several slot machines as well as cash from the raid.
 
Black got off easy, only having to pay fees and fines for having the illegal slot machines in his possession. However, it seems that he did not necessarily see fit to comply with the terms of his sentence. According to the court he still owed about $600 for the fines and fees and had only seen his probation office once.
 
Judge Harris heard the case and feeling that Black was not holding up his end of the bargain told him that because he had not complied that he had to pay an additional $100 in fines and was to serve four days of jail time. He was very clear that Black broke the law by having the illegal slot machines and that he was going to pay the consequences.
