Officer Awarded Damages in Slander Suit in Butler County
A Butler County Common Pleas Court jury awarded Middletown police officer Robert Sloan 2000 damages after Sloan accused Tommy Glosson of slandering him with a claim that Sloan took $20 a month for three years to permit Sunday beer sales. Glosson admitted making the claim but denied it referred to Sunday sales. The incident arose Aug 9, 1958 at the Moon glow Cafe. Chief Joseph Blackmore and investigators testified Sloan’s 12 year police record was solid and the charges lacked support. The case prompted renewed scrutiny of Moon glow as a blighted-area site slated for urban renewal and periodic checks by officers.
