MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) — A man who reportedly walked away from a pre-release center in Spokane, Wash., is jailed in Missoula on charges he had drugs with him when he was stopped in a car that had been reported stolen.
The Missoulian reports 33-year-old Joseph Richard Caietti appeared in Missoula County Justice Court Monday on charges of felony theft, escape and criminal possession of dangerous drugs.
