Washington County School Board member Pat Clements was back in court Monday for a pretrial hearing in the case charging him with violating the county’s social host ordinance.

Judge Amy Sullivan Anderson said Clements is scheduled to return to court for another pretrial hearing on Monday, Sept. 8, and a jury trial is set for Tuesday, Sept. 9.

Anderson said the case is being proscuted by a special county attorney, Mr. Craig Cox of Taylor County. Taylor is handling the case due to possible local conflicts.
