State’s Attorney orders review of Sportsmen’s Inn intoxication cases
State's Attorney Edwin F. Nikirk said he would ask Magistrate Manuel Weinberg to refer evidence from two criminal cases this week, involving intoxicated patrons at Sportsmen's Inn near Bartholows, to County License Commissioner G Cleveland Trout for action on the on sale beer license. McFarland of New Market pled guilty to drunken driving, received 30 days in jail or $100 fine, with suspended sentence denied, after admitting drinking at the inn. A Plane No.4 man convicted of assault and battery on his wife had been served drinks there after becoming too drunk to stand, according to his wife. Sheriff Guy Anders and State Trooper Melvin Snyder corroborated McFarland’s testimony that he consumed multiple beers and showed obvious drunkenness. McFarland cited stomach trouble as a possible reason for the effect. Albert Runkles paid a $5 fine for failing to signal, following a Route 75 accident between New Market and Liberty. Charles Rabbitt testified he honked and then passed when Runkles turned left, causing damage. State Trooper Bruce Brucheur investigated.
