Sheriff Answers Questions About Cite And Release

BEND, OR -- A man from La Pine led police on a chase Tuesday evening before wrecking the bike which investigators found out had been stolen. He was cited and released instead of being jailed. Sheriff Shane Nelson explains that in some cases the person has medical or mental health issues. In other cases, Nelson says the person may have information that leads police to successfully conclude other investigations. Nelson emphasizes however that anyone cited and released still must appear in court to face the charges or a warrant will be issued for their arrest.
