All of McGarity's convictions that I found are misdemeanors. But they are not all "minor" offenses. One is a violence-related offense, one is a sex-related offense, and several involve substance abuse.
My guess is that he probably has more criminal convictions than everybody else in our neighborhood combined. And who does he wind up living next door to? Mrs. Schnauzer and me. Has it been fun? No.
Here is a cavalcade of criminality from Blue Cross/Blue Shield employee Mike McGarity, with charges and offense dates, in chronological order. These records come from Birmingham Municipal Court:
* Affray (fighting)--7/2/77
* Disorderly conduct--7/6/77
* Obedience to police--7/6/77
* Indecent Proposal--11/20/77 (original charge was soliciting prostitution)
* Drinking in public--2/11/78
