Ind. Law - "The tales of two Wilders"
The ILB has posted a number of entries involving either attorney Larry Wilder or Peggy Wilder, both of Jeffersonville, Clark County, over the past several years.
In Part II of its "Clark County: Top Stories of 2009" feature, the Jeffersonville News & Tribune has an item that begins:
As far as news stories concerning a former husband and wife, the name Wilder sure was appropriate in 2009. Jeffersonville Clerk-Treasurer Peggy Wilder and her ex-husband, on-again-off-again-on-again City Council Attorney Larry Wilder, made headlines — locally and regionally in the case of Peggy; locally and nationally in the case of Larry.He was found asleep in a neighbor’s garbage can — one required for homeowners by an ordinance Wilder helped craft — after a night of drinking in June, with photographic proof. Larry Wilder was not arrested or charged with a crime, but the story quickly took on a life of its own — given extended play by national news coverage, a Father’s Day press conference by Mayor Tom Galligan and an investigation, which turned up nothing, as to who was responsible for leaking the photos of Wilder in the garbage can to the media.
