Judge sentences Breed to three months in jail
Judge Floyd Philbrick on Monday afternoon sentenced Robert Breed to three months in the county jail and then delivery to navy authorities after pleading guilty to passing about 150 dollars worth of bad checks in Cedar Rapids last October. Breed’s sentence runs from February 5, the date of his arrest at his father-in-law’s home near Hale Iowa on the charge. Full restitution was made. County Attorney William W. Crissman cited Breed’s navy record, including Pearl Harbor, in recommending the lighter sentence. Breed said he deserted in July 1942 and has been jailed since his arrest in lieu of a 4000 dollar bond.
