RAPID CITY (AP) — A Rapid City councilman has paid $66 in court fees for throwing a lighted cigarette out a car window in late March, when fire conditions were extreme in western South Dakota's Black Hills.
According to media reports, Jordan Mason faced a fine of up to $120 for the misdemeanor citation but was ordered to pay only the court fees. Prosecutor Ryan Ryder said that is not unusual in such cases.
