Oddest Lawsuit In This County Involving Circus Free Passes

A son of a prominent lawyer secured a complimentary ticket. a brother used it, prompting a sheriff’s arrest and a judge to hear the case. A lawyer and threats forced the complaint from $10.50 to $1 plus the ticket. the “comps” replaced fees for the sheriff and justice. The company claimed the arrangement was with a canvasman, not the boy’s brother.
