New Magistrate Judge Aaron Thompson briefs council on recent caseload
Summary
Magistrate Judge Aaron Thompson introduced himself to the council, described teaching at ISU, being on-call overnight and handling recent search warrants, blood draws, sentencing and probation dockets.
Magistrate Judge Aaron Thompson introduced himself to the Soda Springs City Council and summarized his recent workload as a Bannock County magistrate, including overnight search-warrant and blood-draw calls and a heavy sentencing and probation calendar.
"As the mayor indicated, I am Judge Aaron Thompson. I'm a Magistrate Judge in Bannock County," Thompson said, noting he had taught a class at Idaho State University the previous night and had been on call for search warrants and blood draws overnight. He told the council that in the morning he handled nine sentencing matters and six probation-related hearings, describing the work as a privilege and part of his routine duties.
The remarks were introductory; the judge did not request formal action from the council and his comments served to inform local officials about his duties and recent workload.
