Craig, now is waging strenuously a highway safety campaign. „ Justice Nolan had issued a state warrant for the arrest of Coats, who had failed to heed a summons to appear before the justice the evening of July 4. Instead, Coats wrote the justice a letter saying he was in his bailiwick- on business and pleasure and found It impossible to appear, according to Nolan. Nolan then wrote to Coats saying he could plead guilty by mail. When Nolan heard nothing from the state official, he said he issued the summons. State police sergeant Ralph Powell, of the Ligonier post, was the arresting officer.
