Ind. Courts - "Judge Felts pleads not guilty"

Niki Kelly of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette attended the initial hearing in Marion County Superior Court this morning and reports in a story that begins:

INDIANAPOLIS – Allen Circuit Judge Thomas Felts will keep his driver’s license after an initial hearing Wednesday morning in Marion Superior Court.

His attorney, James Voyles, entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf. Felts was not in court.

Prosecutors said Felts’ license should be suspended based on a refusal to take two chemical breath tests.

Voyles told Marion County Judge William J. Nelson that his client took part in two tests that were deemed invalid, arguing that is not the same as refusing to take them.

The judge agreed, saying there was no probable cause that he refused the tests.
