Judge and drunk gum up the works in Cedar Rapids scene
Insiders at Cedar Rapids municipal court recall a judge and a chronic drinker who faced intoxication charges. The judge offered leniency after a plea to reform, then to his own surprise bought chewing gum at a tavern. The tale expands to tax errors in Linn County, a juvenile arrest, and an extended interview with Mr. Grant about a fire case, law, and accountability.
