Prisoner rides as officers load Ford to Fairmont
Claudio Haddor, 48, held in county jail on a non support charge near Colfax, was arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Ed Hawkins and Constable R.D. Toothman on a warrant by Mrs. Haddox. Officers could not return to Fairmont for nine hours, so they hired a Ford to transport Haddor and themselves. The road was rough, the Ford dragged uphill, and officers had to walk as the car failed to pull the load.
