| Description |
An alderwoman was cleared Tuesday of charges she urinated in a trash can during a debate.
Irene Smith was acquitted of a misdemeanor violation of the city code barring lewd conduct.
Smith was charged in July 2001 after a debate in which she appeared to urinate in a trash can as friends draped a sheet, a tablecloth and a quilt around her.
The incident occurred during a filibuster against a ward redistricting bill Smith opposes. At the time, the board’s presiding officer ruled that Smith would lose control of floor debate if she left to use a restroom. |
