Arresting Development

The Ohio Supreme Court today issued an arrest warrant for an attorney who had been publicly reprimanded in 2006 and indefinitely suspended in 2009. The court’s order notes that he was ordered to appear in person and failed to do so.

A 20-day jail sentence was imposed with a provision that the contempt “may be purged if respondent copperates with the Akron Bar Association with regard to the disposition of respondent’s files the bar association has in its possession.” (Mike Frisch)
