Reply #40: Good news, spouse's arrest was dismissed!

[DemReadingDU]

Today was to be the jury trial for spouse's alleged disruption of our village meeting 7/27/10. The county prosecutor dismissed the case Friday 12/3/10. Here is the corresponding newspaper article in today's Springfield newspaper.

The important thing to take from this article is that on 7/27/10 the mayor ordered the police chief to remove spouse from the meeting because of a difference in opinion concerning missing public records in the police chief's file. It was the police chief who took it upon himself to arrest spouse and have him booked into jail.

But in this article the mayor said "he doesn’t regret his decision to have Clark arrested, but he is “kind of pleased (the charges) were dropped.”"


What do you think...the mayor and police chief pre-arranged spouse's arrest? And well, now you know our name too.
