Melanie Brock pleads no contest to attempted possession; court orders 20 days jail

Miss Melanie Brock appeared with counsel and the State moved to proceed on the lesser included offense of attempted possession of a controlled substance (penalty group 1, less than one gram), a Class A misdemeanor. Defense waived reading, the court accepted the state's exhibits and found sufficient evidence to find Brock guilty on the lesser-included charge.

At sentencing the court ordered 20 days in the Bear County Jail with credit for nine days already served; there was no fine ordered in the plea agreement. Counsel noted the defendant was indigent and requested that any time and money run concurrent with credit for time already served; the court confirmed credit would be applied and warned that trustee credit (two-for-one or three-for-one) was a jail-administered process.
