Foster Court Dismisses Trailer Park Damage Case
Justice of the Peace George Foster dismissed charges against L W Scruby, former occupant of Tamiami Trailer Park, for destroying shrubs and plumbing, citing insufficient evidence. Ford, park owner, testified Scruby tore tile and left the site in disrepair, while Leonard Burch defended Scruby’s character and noted typical damage during trailer moves. The jam-packed hearing also saw the court bind over Jerry D. Ryan to county court for assaulting a Trailways bus driver, with related charges against his father Charlies M. Ryan and a profanity count dropped.
