Creditors seek dismissal of theft charge in TV repair case
Assistant District Attorney R W Tarrant urged dismissal of the felony theft charge against John Brooks and Joseph Time pains after Patte Neal of Wooster claimed two repairmen failed to fix a television and she refused payment. The debt was for parts 49 dollars. The men took the TV set while Neal's grandmother was away and refused to return it until paid, citing a constitutional lien. Tarrant reasoned creditors may seize debtor property in a peaceable manner but did not confirm if courts would allow entry with a watchdog protest. The judge did not rule on that point.
