COEUR d'ALENE — Incarcerated on drug and trespassing charges, Christopher Joseph Davison shattered a portable Kootenai County jail phone while in his cell July 21, 2016.
"I don't give a f***" Davison told an officer after throwing the phone against a brick wall, according to an incident report. "Just stack the charge on me."
Big mistake.
On Wednesday, the 28-year-old transient from St. Maries was sentenced to three years in jail — one-and-a-half years fixed — for a felony injury to jail property. He was credited 225 days, according to the Idaho Repository.
Davison was also fined $245 for the damage.
On the day of the offense, according to the KSCO report, Davison became angry when the PIN for the jail's portable phone wasn't working.
"Reset my PIN, motherf***er," Davison told the officer.
"That's not how we get things done around here," the officer replied before Davison broke the phone.
