Just For Laughs

Durango, Colorado

Daniel Steaves is going to jail for speeding -- speeding on his snowboard. Steaves was convicted of third-degree assault for crashing into a ski patroller and breaking the man's leg. Witnesses say Steaves was going 30 to 35 miles per hour in a slow ski zone at Colorado's Durango Mountain Resort last season. The witnesses say the ski patroller was blowing his whistle and trying to get Steaves to slow down at the time. The jury in the case didn't buy Steaves' contention the accident was the result of bad timing, bad luck and bad judgement -- but not recklessness. Earlier this week, Steaves was sentenced to two days in jail and 75 hours of community service. He's been banned from the Durango slopes this season and must pay for the victim's medical expenses.
