Black man sentenced after resisting arrest in Nelson home
Wade Carroll colored, drunk, resisted Deputy Sheriff Allen Bartgis during arrest for property disturbance at Blanche Nelson's home. Carroll struck Nelson and threatened to die rather than be jailed, prompting Bartgis to strike him with a blackjack until he was briefly incapacitated. Judge Brust and State's Attorney Anders gave Carroll three months in the House of Correction, noting resistance, not Nelson’s complaints, as the main factor. The judge warned Nelson about frequent police court appearances. Also, a jury trial was requested in the dandelion wine case against Daniel Fisher, accused of selling half a pint. Fisher chose to stand trial despite expectations of a guilty plea.
