23 June 2009 / AP, JEFFERSONVILLE, IND.
An Indiana lawyer who was found asleep headfirst in a neighbor's trash can after a night of drinking has apologized and says he's embarrassed.
No charges have been filed against Larry Wilder, who is the Jeffersonville City Council's attorney. Wilder said he had dinner and drinks with friends in nearby Louisville, Ky last Wednesday. He said he was driven home in a client's limousine but remembers little that happened after that. A neighbor found Wilder in the trash can the following day and called police, who helped Wilder home. Jeffersonville Police Chief Tim Deeringer said no crime was committed and that Wilder was cooperative and not a threat to anyone. The City Council president said she will call a special meeting this week to discuss Wilder's status with the city.
