An exasperated judge Friday slashed how much the Oklahoma County sheriff can charge inmates for their time in jail.

Oklahoma County District Judge Ray C. Elliott set the incarceration rate for inmates at $32 a day for the next year. Inmates over the last year have been billed $44.51 a day.

The judge ruled during the fourth hearing over the rate, saying he repeatedly has been given conflicting information and cannot rely on the accuracy of the figures.

"'I guess I'm supposed to throw a dart," the judge told the sheriff's finance officer, Capt. Jon Skuta. "I don't believe anything you're saying."
