Bar owner guilty of criminal contempt

DOVER -- Former gubernatorial candidate Frank Infante has been convicted of criminal contempt for violating a protection-from-abuse order issued on behalf of his common-law wife.

Infante, 39, a Smyrna saloonkeeper, was acquitted of a second criminal-contempt count, and a charge of offensive touching was dropped by prosecutors. Family Court Commissioner David Jones, who heard evidence in the case last Friday, sentenced Infante to 12 months of unsupervised probation.

Infante, who ran for governor in 2004 on the Independent and Libertarian party tickets, is slated for a Family Court trial at 10 a.m. Jan. 5 on a third criminal contempt charge. He also is scheduled to appear Jan. 26 in Kent County Court of Common Pleas for trial on two counts of interfering with the custody of a child

The charges stem from a bitter breakup with Melissa "Missy" Simcox, whom Infante describes as his common-law wife, owing to a period of cohabitation in Pennsylvania. Infante was accused of violating an order to stay at least 100 feet away from Simcox by working at his bar, Bulldozers Saloon, which is next door to their home.

1. I remember him also

His campaign platform was all about funding education with money from gambling casinos.
His voice sounded like he was a 3 pack a day smoker.

BTW Hello to you from Wilmington.

2. Hello to you from Wilmington too

I wouldn't want to live anywhere south of the canal.

And he was a 3-pack-a-day smoker. That was a farce about his 'platform'. He just wanted to repeal the indoor clean-air laws.
