Vernal police cited Jason West with disorderly conduct on May 31, claiming he unnecessarily caused alarm when he unloaded 2,500 pennies onto a receptionist’s counter at Basin Clinic to settle his bill five days earlier.  Officers say the pennies were “strewn about the counter and the floor” and that West’s actions “served no legitimate purpose.”
