In West Memphis District Court yesterday, Tristian Wilson was set to appear 
on the docket for a bond hearing on the charges. When he did not appear, 
Judge William "Pal" Rainey inquired about his release and found that a jail 
staff member released Wilson by the authority of a fax sent to the jail 
late Saturday night.

According to Assistant Chief Mike Allen, a fax was sent to the jail which 
stated "Upon decision between Judge Rainey and the West Memphis Police 
Department CID Division Tristian Wilson is to be released immediately on 
this date of October 30, 2004 with a waiver of all fines, bonds and 
settlements per Judge Rainey and Detective McDugle."

Jail Administrator Mickey Thornton said that these faxes are part of a

this fax was different.

According to Allen, this fax was a fake.
