Judge Sends Fink To Prison For Alimony Backlog
Howard Fink, 62, former candidate for Democratic sheriff, was sentenced in Circuit Court to one year in prison for contempt of court for failing to pay $9,840 in alimony to his ex-wife Mary. The 1962 divorce decree ordered $140 monthly alimony. Fink fell behind. He may be released early if he pays the back alimony. The case notes the city fired him from a radio job due to a political candidacy and that his name stays on the ballot.
