From the Keep-Your-Eye-on-the-Ball Department:

"In a year when war in Iraq, the threat of terrorism and looming problems with the federal budget and the nation's health care system cry out for serious debate, the news organizations on which people should be able to depend have been diverted into chasing sham events."

--David S. Broder, columnist, 2004

River Heights woman pleads guilty to illegal possession of prescription drugs

By Joey Hislop

April 6. 2005 | LOGAN--Jamie Daun Fisher of River Heights pleaded guilty Tuesday in 1st District Court to illegal possession of a controlled substance, a class-A misdemeanor.

During Fisher's court appearance today for a change of plea the prosecution agreed to drop the original 2nd degree felony charge of possession of a controlled substance in exchange for a guilty plea to a lesser charge.

In late 2004, Fisher was arrested after police found oxycontin pills in a bottle with Fisher's name on it during a search of her residence. Oxycontin is a powerful and addictive pain killer and is illegal without prescription. Fisher did not have a prescription for the pills.

Fisher originally requested a jury trial but the request was denied. Judge Thomas Willmore set sentencing in this case for six weeks from today.
