A Kentucky man wrongly locked up for over a year was shocked when, upon his release from jail, he received an invoice from the county for his time served.
According to a report from The Lexington Herald-Leader, David Allen Jones was sent a bill of $4,008 for his 14-month sentence at the Clark County Detention Center. He is now taking legal action against the county and jailer Frank Doyle, claiming that should not be charged for his wrongful imprisonment.
Jones, a local factory worker, was charged in October 2013 on child pornography charges, the outlet reported. Lexington police claimed to have linked his IP address to illegal video downloads. He was arrested and his bond was set at $15,000. Because he could not afford to make bail, he had no choice but to remain in jail before his trial.
