Jetton faces early January court appearance in assault case

Rod Jetton's lawyer says in an e-mail that his client voluntarily reported to the Cole Co. sheriff (Jefferson City) last night, posted bond (listed at $2,500; he may have paid $250 in cash), and is not in custody.

An official at Cole County says he turned himself in at 11:53 p.m. last night, posted bond with a bondsman and was released at 12:25 a.m. this morning.

Jetton was given a court date of January 6, the lawyer said, in Scott Co. Circuit Court.

Jan. 6 also happens to be the first day of Missouri's 2010 legislative session.
