Man fights drug policy, continues hunger strike
By a Kansan reporter
Mark Creamer, Lawrence resident, yesterday continued his hunger strike from the Douglas County jail to protest U.S. drug policies.
Creamer, who was jailed May 23, said he would continue his hunger strike until Douglas County District Court Judge James Padlock looked at marijuana laws or until authorities forced him to eat.
Paddock sentenced Creamer to six months in jail on the misdemeanor charge of possessing martiana. Creamer was arrested in last September by marshal Jim Garrett cigarette in the Douglas County Law Enforcement Center.
Underserhiffer Don Dalquest said Creamer had not eaten for 12 days as of yesterday and only was drinking of yesterday and was aware that Creamer was aware of Creamer's condition.
Sheriff Loren Anderson said authorities had no immediate plans
to intervene.
"We'll just monitor what he does or doesn't do, and depending on how long it continues, we'll obviously have a doctor check him to determine what his status is." Anderson said.
"The law isn't making sense, and everybody is afraid to challenge the law," he said.
Creamer said Douglas County District Court Judge James Paddock had no right to try to protect him in the case. He also told Creamer a harmless vice.
Creamer has announced his candidacy for the 2nd District congressional seat currently held by Rep. Jim Slattery, D-Lawrence. Slattery is a member of which comprises 13 counties in northeast Kansas, since 1983.
The Associated Press contributed information to this story.
