Westwood JP Gets Prison
December 8th, 1947
Former Justice of the Peace T. G. Thompson today was sentenced to serve from one to 10 years in San Quentin prison on charges of misappropriation of county funds.
Sentence was imposed by Superior Court Judge B. V. Curler. Thompson had been found guilty of four counts, and he was sentenced to one to 10 years on each count, the sentences to run concurrently.
Thompson was found guilty by a jury after a trial here last week. He formerly was justice of the peace at Westwood and was accused of taking fines and fees he collected for his own use.
