Crowder given until November to seek treatment or face prison
Federal judge John Copenhaver ordered Wayne Crowder of Charleston to complete an alcohol treatment program by November after multiple public intoxication and a drunken driving arrest. Crowder, 48, previously pled guilty in 1999 to using his PSC position to obtain $19,000 in pens and trinkets and served four months in prison on that charge while released on supervised terms. If he fails, the judge will decide whether to return him to prison to serve the remainder of his sentence.
