Local court cases recap and a prisoner's freedom bid loss
Magistrate Byron W. Thompson presided last night over several rulings. Bernard Thomas Norwood and Alfred Johnson along with Maynard Joseph Palmer were found guilty of offenses linked to animal control and reckless driving with fines and costs. Charles Dennis Hames was fined for speeding on a curve. Richard Cranshaw was convicted of intoxication with a suspended sentence. In Salisbury, Maryland, David Wright lost his bid for freedom after being convicted of statutory arson that caused a $60,000 fire at a roller skating rink on US Route 12 near Salisbury on December 12, 1958. Wright claimed the State presented perjured testimony.
