Defendant's Effort to Alter Court Date Leads to Jail

Nathan Devine had gotten nabbed and was looking to buy some time.

After being ticketed for reckless driving in February, he needed to raise money for fines and attend traffic school before his court date, his attorney said. But rather than ask the judge or a lawyer to change the court date, as required, Devine, of Manassas Park, thought of an easier way: He could have a friend who worked in the courthouse change it for him.

Devine -- along with his friend, Maria Merlos, a former Prince William County General District Court clerk's office employee -- was nabbed again.
