Trial on auto license charge adds to jail term
Edward T. Persey, of Ice Street, was brought from jail to stand trial for a second time this week on an automobile license charge. Magistrate Edward J. Smith added 30 days to a 20 day term he is serving. Dorsey, arrested Thursday at Plane No. 4, faced the same charge and received a court summons. Over the weekend police fined and jailed him on a similar charge. A separate case saw James H. Working fined for failing to stop at a stop sign, while several defendants faced penalties for reckless driving and speeding on various routes, with fines and costs assessed. A minor collision occurred on West Patrick Street near Jefferson Street, causing damages but no injuries. The government seeks to recover over 44 million dollars from veterans for overpaid benefits, as VA notes repayments rising.
