Island County Greg Banks presented an option of suspending prosecution of all misdemeanor and gross misdemeanor crimes except DUI and domestic violence assault cases. This would allow him to eliminate one of the two deputy prosecutors in district court, plus one paralegal, in order to meet the proposed 10 percent reduction. The option, he said, would amount to amnesty for those who commit traffic crimes, petty theft, vandalism, trespassing, animal control violations, pot possession and many other misdemeanor crimes in the county. That's about 1,000 cases a year that wouldn't be prosecuted.
