Ind. Courts - Son of former Elkhart judge charged as adult
From the South Bend Tribune:
The teenage son of a former Elkhart judge has been charged with receiving stolen property and dangerous possession of a handgun.Sixteen-year-old Cole Pfaff allegedly was found with firearms stolen in a burglary.
His case has been waived to adult court. Charges were filed against him Jan. 31.
Cole Pfaff's father, Benjamin Pfaff, resigned from Elkhart Superior Court 1 after the Indiana Commission on Judicial Qualifications found he violated judicial codes of conduct. Benjamin Pfaff was accused of threatening a Simonton Lake man verbally and with a handgun in 2003.
He's still practicing law in the area, and is defending his son.
In a Wednesday court hearing, Pfaff filed a motion to correct the dangerous possession charge brought against his son. The motion was granted, and an initial hearing on the matter is scheduled for Wednesday.
