As attorney for Jeffersonville City Council Illinois, Larry Wilder is usually prosecuting cases against local drunks. But with a name like Wilder you have to live up to your name, so Larry decided to see what it was like to be on the other side…. and was discovered by neighbors drink and asleep in their trash can Tuesday morning.
According to a local report, Police responding to a 911 call decided not to charge Wilder. “When officers arrived on the scene, they made contact with that person and he was identified as Larry Wilder,” Jeffersonville Police Chief Tim Deeringer said. “He wasn’t belligerent, he wasn’t out of control. Mr. Wilder was asked if he could walk to his home. He said he could and he was turned over to two adult children at the house.”
Just because the humiliation of being caught isn’t enough, naturally pictures from the scene have been published. The city council is currently reconsidering Wilder’s ongoing employment.

This story is completely incorrect. This did not occur in the town of Jeffersonville, Illinois. This happened in the rivertown of Jeffersonville, Indiana 2 miles across the Ohio River from Louisville, KY. He partied a little too hard in a limo that night – taken to a bar in Louisville, KY.

I see the town Mayor is making the police the bad guys here, not the idiot crap-faced (literally, huh) in the garbage can who is employed by the Citizens. Has the world come full circle that the police should have COVERED UP the event that took place in public, rather than expose it? WTF?
Nice Priorities. Nice town.
