Diane Smallie of 118 Sherwood Drive was fined $131 – four times – in the Wednesday session of Batesville Municipal Court after she was found guilty of transporting four kids without properly strapping them in. That plus a charge of driving with suspended license made her total fine come to $880.

Five county jail inmates were led into municipal court wearing leg chains and handcuffs with three of them facing charges of aggravated assault and being held under $50,000 bond.
