Wm. J. Ross - Nevada case dismissed?

Is something falling apart in Nevada with holding William J. Ross for McHenry County, regarding his confinement on a warrant out of Illinois?

The Clark County (Nev.) District Attorney Office says a case (No. 13F18113X) against Ross was dismissed yesterday, Jan. 16, on the Court's Motion.

They don't have any record of Case No. 14GW0922X, which is now shown in Ross' inmate record at the Clark County Correctional Facility.

Is it possible that records have been scrambled and that he'll be released?

Earlier this week the Extraditions Officer for the State of Nevada told me that Gov. Sandoval had approved the extradition request from the State of Illinois and that a hearing on the extradition would be scheduled.

Is it possible that Ross changed his mind and agreed to be extradited?

The voice tree at the Clark County Court system is for the birds. After you wade through all the options and hear "Press 8 or stay on the line", then within a second you hear, "Are you there?" and you are sent back to Voice Tree Hell, and the entire message plays again. They've taken voice-tree direction (mis-direction?) to a whole new level.

By the way, the McHenry County Administration is looking into how to send callers elsewhere, when they press "0" after dialing 815.334.4000. As he explained at the Management Services Committee this week, if one employee is sick and another is the recording secretary for a committee meeting, the third will spend her time answering the phone and re-directing callers.

Voice-trees must be user-friendly. It is unfair to force a caller (by removing the zero-out option) to listen to a lengthy message and then, when they hope they have reached the right office, to feed them an announcement about a 10-12 minute wait or, worse, to send them back through the entire message.
