Monroeville mayor urged to resign after theft conviction
In Monroeville, residents questioned at village businesses urged Mayor Clayton C. Lord to resign after a Huron County court found him guilty of receiving stolen cigarettes. Lord, mayor for 18 years, claims ignorance and says he sought to return the goods. Prosecutors say he tried to pass 100 cartons to a Bellevue businessman. Public reaction split, with many calling for resignation and some defending him, while others urged he remain in office. Lord pleaded no contest to the first degree misdemeanor and was convicted by Judge Robert W. Smith.
