Charles P. Pat Marcum, a 27 year old leader of the local hippie community and an ad sales man, was freed from narcotics charges when the state failed to produce a key witness now in Vietnam. Judge Compton dismissed the case saying due diligence was not shown and cross examination would be unfair. Marcum was tied to a 1968 possession and sale count and had previously led protests over city hall dances and youth facilities.
