More Severe Penalties for Drunken Drivers
A Maryland court news roundup reports Associate Judge Arthur D. Willard warning that intoxicated drivers face harsher sentences after a Circuit Court upheld a magistrate’s conviction of Roy Baugher for drunken driving. Baugher received a three month House of Correction term suspended on good behavior, despite a prior fine, with his case underscoring tougher penalties intended to deter drinking and driving. The same proceedings saw Charles Franklin Potts, 24, sentenced to five years for calf stealing, added to an eighteen month term for bad checks, and juvenile cases expanding supervised care for delinquent and neglected youths, including teens tied to break-ins around Emmitsburg.
