SALT LAKE CITY Four protesters involved in splashing red paint at the Salt Lake County District Attorney s Office building last year agreed Tuesday to pay about $8,400 each for the damage, part of a plea deal that spares them jail time.
The demonstrators originally faced potential prison time after the office charged them last year with first-degree felony counts of criminal mischief under a gang enhancement. On Tuesday, they entered pleas in abeyance to reduced counts of criminal mischief, a class A misdemeanor, that will be dismissed if they keep up with payments to chip away at restitution and avoid any new charges.
