Springfield approves deal to house inmates in other counties
The Springfield News-Leader (http://sgfnow.co/1q0vMOS ) reports that nearly a year after Greene County Sheriff Jim Arnott essentially closed the county jail to offenders arrested on municipal warrants, the City Council voted Monday to use up to $500,000 in budget carry-over funds on housing those people in Miller and Taney counties.
Springfield police would be pulled off patrol duty to transport inmates to the jail in Forsyth.
