| FORREST CITY, Ark. (AP) -- A man reportedly caught trying to scratch out a judicial decision sending him to jail faces a new charge. Police said the 25-year-old man received a four-day jail sentence along with a $650 fine Monday from St. Francis County District Judge Steve Routon for driving on a suspended license and hazardous driving.
Officers said Routon told the man to turn in a notice listing his sentence to the clerk's office.
A clerk told police she saw the man scratch something off the notice. When an officer looked at the notice, they saw the four-day sentence had been scratched through.
Police say the man is now charged with tampering with a public record.
