A St Joseph man was expected to be released Friday after serving eight days in jail for a speeding ticket.

Travis Trauernicht was cited for driving 61 miles per hour in a 45 mile-per-hour zone in Buchanan County in March of last year. But he failed to pay the ticket, and in fact left the area. Trauernicht was recently arrested in another county. He was eventually booked into the Buchanan County Jail, and appeared before Associate Circuit Judge Keith Marquart on Friday.

Trauericht wound up spending eight days total in a couple of jails. The fine would have been $153.

The judge ordered a sentence of eight days and gave the defendant credit for the eight days he’s already served in jail.
