SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) — The Minnehaha County Commission says no to a lien forgiveness for a young convicted felon.
The commission voted 4 to 0 to not forgive the nearly $80,000 public defender bill for 19-year-old Alex Lingor.
Lingor was convicted of manslaughter and other charges arising from a car chase and drug rip-off in 2017.
Lingor said he needed the lien forgiven or paid-off so he could purchase a $260,000 home.
