Title: Wheelchair protestors ignore court

CINCINNATI - The arrests of four wheelchair-bound protestors were ordered after they failed to appear for their trial today in Hamilton County Municipal Court. The four men were charged with disorderly conduct during protests against Queen City Metro and transit officials here for a conference. Defense attorney Joni Wilkins said she wrote a letter to each of four men - George Florum, of Colorado Springs: Colo.; Rick James of Salt Lake City; Kenneth Hart, of Denver, Colo.; and Arthur Campbell, of Louisville, Ky. -- advising them of the court date. Only Campbell acknowledged the letter, she said. Judge J. Howard Sunderman ordered warrants for the arrests of the four on a charge of failure to appear in court and forfeiture of the $1500 unsecured bonds of each defendant. Ms. Wilkins said it is unlikely any of the four would return to Ohio where they could be arrested on the warrants.
