Drunk driving penalties split by judge in Lorain Elyria
A Chronicle Telegram survey of Lorain and Elyria court records from October 1967 through March 1968 shows Municipal Judge Frank Wilcox jailed 39 of 40 guilty or plea cases for driving while intoxicated, with one suspension. Acting Judge Jack W. Dilgren suspended 16 of 22 jail terms in the same period. Other judges like John S. Koiena and David R. Goldthorpe advocate strict enforcement, while state law mandates a three day jail term for offenders convicted under state statutes. The leniency or severity hinges on the judge and whether the arrest came under city ordinances or state law.
