Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, July 8, 1992 - FIVE
Corrections
In the June 24, 1992 issue of
the Heppner Gazette-Times the
Sheriff s office reported that
Michael Glenn Smith of Heppner
was arrested on June 15, 1992 on
the basis of a warrant issued by
Hermiston District Court for
failure to appear on a game viola
tion. The District Attorney’s of
fice has since learned that Mr.
Smith had, in fact, appeared and
taken care of the game violation
prior to the warrant being issued.
However, due to an error in the
filing of the citation, a warrant
was mistakenly ordered. Mr.
Smith should not have been
arrested.
The District Attorney’s office
and the Sheriffs office apologize
for any inconvenience caused to
Mr. Smith.
