Student Bound To Jury On Marijuana Charge
An Ohio University student, Douglas Mack, was bound over to the grand jury from Athens County Municipal Court after pleading innocent to possessing marijuana for sale. Mack, 211 Madison Avenue, faces bond set at 5,000 dollars as three West Virginia youths implicated him after a drug handoff. The youths, arrested in Athens on a Huntington, West Virginia tip, testified to Judge Franklin Sheeter that Mack supplied the drugs. Police recovered near 700 soapers at Mack's home, orange capsules linked to heart stoppage in the Columbus area. In separate actions, Douglas Levy was found guilty of intoxication by drugs and fined 25 dollars plus costs, Linda DiMarzio saw a petty larceny charge dismissed, and Ruby Parker faced a 45 dollar alleged theft.
