Rolly: Campaign gets moved behind bars
As the race for Salt Lake City mayor heats up, there is one candidate you shouldn't expect to see at any joint appearances or debates. He'll be spending his time at the Salt Lake County metro jail instead.
Candidate John Renteria, who is president of the Latino support organization Centro Civico Mexicano, was sent to jail Friday by 3rd District Judge Sheila McCleve for 365 days.
He appeared in McCleve's court to show cause why he shouldn't have his probation on DUI-related convictions revoked. Despite his pleas that he is needed in the community, McCleve had him handcuffed and taken directly to jail.
Renteria, who has run several times for public office, including for the City Council and the Legislature, violated the conditions of his probation by driving on a revoked license, consuming alcohol and not reporting to his probation officer when he was supposed to, according to the court file.
He also did not fully comply with the judge's orders requiring him to wear an electronic ankle device during his probation, the judge found.
Renteria was considered a second-tier candidate and not given much of a chance to win. The last campaign finance disclosure indicated he had raised no money.
