Scott VanDerKarr, judge who helped addicts, resigns

Franklin County Municipal Court Judge Scott VanDerKarr, one of the first judges in Ohio to give drug offenders a second chance by creating a special docket that has grown to 200 addicts, is resigning after 20 years on the bench. VanDerKarr told The Dispatch he will step down this week, but he plans to continue working with drug addicts and their families where he hopes to make a dent in the deadly drug crisis.
