After providing customers with old-style scratchy dip pens for an untold number of years the postal department this week supplies postmaster James Driscoll with new, modem ball point pens. Unlike the old pens, which no one in his right mind would bother to steal even though they lay out entirely unprotected on the desks, the new ball points are chained to the wall and are clearly marked “Prop erty of the US Post Office.” DA’s Report Morrow County District Attorney Elizabeth Bal lard has released the following report: -Shalon Garlynn Angel, 32, was convicted of At tempting to Commit a Class C/Unclassified Felony (Pos session of Methamphetamine), a Class A misdemeanor, and was sentenced to 180 days incarceration with 180 days suspended, 18 months bench probation, complete 40 hours of community service, other conditions, and pay $988 in fines, fees and assessments. -Mark Edward Holmquist, 49, was convicted of Contempt of Court, and was sentenced to 30 days incarceration with 30 days suspended, one year bench probation, complete 10 hours of community service, other conditions, and pay $383 in fines, fees and assessments. -Scott Louis Sullivan, 38, was convicted of Ha rassment, a Class B misdemeanor, and was sentenced to 30 days incarceration with 30 days suspended, 12 months bench probation, other conditions, and pay $413 in fines, fees and assessments.
