MEDFORD, Ore. � A psychiatrist has pleaded guilty and been sentenced to

30 days in jail for planting booby traps that injured Oregon mountain

bikers on national forest trails outside Ashland.



Dr. Jackson Dempsey apologized to the mountain bikers, his family and the

medical community Wednesday in Jackson County Circuit Court in Medford.



But he did not explain what led him to string nylon cords across the

trails, and put nails and small trees in the path.



Besides the 30 days in jail, Judge Lorenzo Mejia ordered Dempsey to stay

away from national forest trails for the two years he is on probation.



Three people suffered minor injuries running into the trees and cords.



Dempsey was a psychiatrist for Jackson County when he was arrested last

July. He no longer has that job.

This is dishonest reporting. They fail to mention that the bikers were riding on an illegal trail. Why can't mountain bikers EVER tell the truth?!
