In Peoria, state officials reported that irregularities in drunken driving cases handled there had risen to more than 100. The Republic also learned that Phoenix police had gathered evidence concerning previous payoffs in a city court but that the county attorney's office has not taken any action to date.

He told city police and state investigators the $250 payment was made so he would not have his license revoked after a second conviction for drunken driving.
