Lake County sheriff putting himself in jail

Lake County Sheriff Mark Curran has been sentenced to jail - sort of.

Curran, who was elected sheriff of Lake County in 2006, has self-imposed a one week jail sentence on himself and will be incarcerated in the Lake County jail today at 11 a.m.

Curran has not said why he decided to stay in the jail for one week yet, however he said he will explain his decisions during a press conference held just prior to his incarceration.
