Unusual Court Action Grants Probation Before Commitment
A 27 year old Granger man, Stephen C Hammond, avoided prison after a Linn district court jury convicted him in 1976 of selling marijuana for profit. The judge and county attorney sought immediate parole before commitment, a rarely used Iowa procedure since 1924. Hammond, diabetic and not the principal in the sale, was living in Granger and working at Dallas County Hospital. The parole board granted the request, while noting the procedure is infrequently used and has a high success rate for those paroled.
