It was found that he had been drinking and was breaking up furniture at his home and otherwise creating disturbance, it IS alleged.
 Judge Griswold stated this morning that the regular Wednesday sessions of the court will probably be resumed this week, as there are several cases on the docket for the next few weeks.
