Christmas Day Quiet with Only Two Arrests Reported
Police reported only two arrests on Christmas day amid a quiet period for Muscatine. Most intoxication cases were disposed of, some due to recognition that Christmas could be celebrated without liquor and others by staying in Illinois to avoid federal action. Wylyn Carey of Columbus Junction got six days in jail after pleading guilty to intoxication, while John Savelina received a 15 day suspended sentence upon paying costs. Many prisoners recalled little about where their liquor came from when questioned.
