The Daily Tar Heel Friday, September 2, 19883A Marshals' search for fygitive; frleimdls fear foy play From Associated Press reports RALEIGH U.S. marshals searched Thursday for fugitive Amer ican Indian Eddie Hatcher while Hatcher's friends worried that foul play or the threat of it might have kept him from surrendering after his bond was. revoked. ; "We have no indication why he's doing this, none whatsoever," said N .C. official after licensing mistakes From Associated Press reports RALEIGH The state official responsible for a foulup that put more than 150 convicted drunken drivers back , behind the wheel has been fprced to resign, Gov. Jim Martin said Thursday. ; Keith Clark, head of the drivers section of the N.C. Division of Motor Yehicles, was dismissed after an investigation pinned the blame on him, Martin said at a news conference. ; "He has been asked to resign and he has submitted his resignation," the governor said, adding that Clark had "made a mistake of judgment but nevertheless a very serious mistake." DMV officials are trying to correct the error, taking back as many of the wrongly awarded licenses as possible, Martin said. He said he had been notified Monday night that employees in the driver's section erroneously notified the convicted drunken drivers they could reapply for licenses. All had been found guilty of more than one impaired-driving offense r Eg Quality Copies 24 Hours a Day Whenever you need copies, depend on Kinko's, the 24 hour copy center the copy center 114 W.

Marshall Bill Berryhill. "It really does not make any sense. "If he has any enemies, he's more . likely to encounter them in a fugitive status than in the custody of the U.S. Marshal Service," Berryhill said. "Any concerns about his safety while in the custody of the Department of Justice would be totally, erroneous." An arrest warrant was issued for resigns ' . and two had been charged again since having their driving privileges restored. Under the 1983 Safe Roads Act, anyone convicted of drunken driving a second time loses his license for four years. But the license can be restored after two years if a hearing officer approves a person's appeal. Hearing officers cn accept or reject appeals or refer them to a medical review board for further consideration. An officer can allow a person to continue driving until the medical board renders a decision. In the cases of the 150 multiple offenders, the hearing officers had referred them to the medical board without granting any of the people permission to drive. But Clark's office notified the drivers that they could reapply for limited driving privileges, meaning they could drive with res trictions such as only before dark.
