Bryce Rule pleads to attempted possession; receives 28-day county jail term

The court called State v. Bryce Rule (2026 CR000208). Defense counsel waived formal reading of the indictment and the defendant acknowledged the plea conditions. The prosecutor proceeded on the lesser-included offense of attempted possession of a controlled substance (penalty group 1, less than one gram), a class A misdemeanor.

Judge: "According to the plea bargain agreement ... they're asking that your punishment be assessed at 28 days in the Bear County Jail ... and a $500 fine. And restitution of $120 be paid to the Bear County Crime Lab." The court followed the plea agreement and sentenced Rule accordingly, ordering the judgment satisfied on completion.

The judge reviewed the defendant's admonishments and limited appeal rights on the record. Defense counsel confirmed the plea and that the defendant had a factual and rational understanding of the charges. The court entered the sentence and instructed the clerk to reflect the restitution and fines in the case file.
