TAHLEQUAH DAILY PRESS — A story in the Tuesday Daily Press reported that Robert L. Finch was arrested with three other people after a high-speed pursuit with Cherokee County sheriff’s deputies. Reports of the incident state Finch was allegedly in the vehicle, but he ran from the scene and was not actually apprehended. A warrant was issued for his arrest Thursday for charges stemming from the incident.

A story in last Sunday’s edition of the Press reported Stephen Fabian was seeking to withdraw as the attorney representing Jacob Wayne Goodwin, based on online court records. A check of the actual records shows the application to withdraw was filed by Melissa Schmidt, who represented Goodwin in a related civil case. The application was incorrectly filed in Goodwin’s case by whomever entered the records online. Fabian represents Goodwin in a criminal case and is not withdrawing as Goodwin’s attorney.

Poll

The use of cell phones while driving is increasingly becoming an issue. What do you think about cell phone use by emergency personnel, like law enforcement officers, EMTs, firemen, etc.?

• If the law allows the common citizen to use cell phones while driving, emergency personnel should be able to also.
• Emergency personnel should be held to a higher standard. Since they are often driving faster than normal, they should not be allowed to use cell phones while driving, even if other citizens can.
• They should be allowed to use them like anyone else, but their host entities (hospitals, fire departments, cities, etc.) should carry extra insurance for this reason.
• Don't know.
