Lorain County Common Pleas Court Judge Adrian Bedleski denied a defense bid to downgrade gambling charges against Elyria bail bondsman John J. Chlepciak from felonies to misdemeanors. The court ruled the fourth degree felonies stand with potential 18 month prison terms. Chlepciak, who runs JC Rail Bonding Co., was indicted after a January 26 raid on his Katina Lake Sportsman's Club in North Ridgeville.
