"Dark Knight Dad": Case closed
Remember the guy who left his toddler in the car one night while he went into the Century 16 theater in South Salt Lake to watch "The Dark Knight"?

Remember how the cops stopped the movie and turned up the house lights, right near the end of the movie, and arrested him - as angry moviegoers threw popcorn tubs at him?

Remember how the guy became vilified from coast to coast?

Now we know that guy's fate.

David James Farnham, 23, has been sentenced to 30 days in jail, three years of probation and a $1,500 fine for a class A misdemeanor reckless endangerment charge - for leaving his 2-year-old son, Justin, in the car during the movie last July 20. Farnham also must continue mental health treatment, have no unsupervised contact with his son, and stay current on his child-support payments.
