Sheriff Hoffman Begins 30 Day Jail Stay Contempt Charge
Peter M. Hoffman prepares to serve thirty days in Wheaton jail after being found in contempt of federal court over privileges given to Beer Barons Terry Druggan and Frankie Lake. Hoffman maintains he remains Cook County sheriff and that the sentence is a federal matter, not a removal from office. Coroner Wolf readies to assume control during Hoffman's absence as Hoffman appoints a deputy to act in his stead.
