Sheriff Metts gets 1 year and 1 day in Prinson
Of course he is upset. I mean who wouldn't be after getting such a light sentence for his crimes. FFS.
Ex-Sheriff James Metts Gets 1 Year in Prison
Columbia, SC (WLTX) - Former Lexington County Sheriff James Metts has received a sentence of one year and one day in federal prison for his role in an alleged scheme to help illegal aliens housed at the county jail avoid federal detection.
Judge Terry Wooten handed down the penalty just after midday Monday at the federal courthouse in downtown Columbia. In addition to the jail time, Metts must pay a fine of $10,000, and when he's released, he'll be on probation for two years.

The penalty was somewhat of a surprise, since both the defense and prosecution had told the judge they both felt jail time was unnecessary. The maximum penalty he was facing was 16 months behind bars.
