Judge Renee Lee Worke is the latest judge to be arrested for driving while intoxicated.
Last month, a top Iowa judge was charged with operating a vehicle while intoxicated (OWI) after she drove drunk, passed out behind the wheel and veered into oncoming traffic.
Witnesses called 911 after they saw a woman, identified as Iowa Chief Judge Adria Kester, “slumped over the steering wheel” on Highway 30 near Boone, the Des Moines Register reported.
An intoxicated Kester reportedly drove the wrong way on Highway 30 before passing out.
Kester pleaded not guilty.
In September, a Georgia Superior Court Judge was arrested for drunk driving after he backed his Mercedes into a truck in the parking lot of Wacko’s Gentlemen’s Club.
48-year-old Robert Guy Jr. was arrested and booked on Friday after he backed his Mercedes into a Ford F-150 and then offered the owner of the truck $500 to avoid giving his identity and insurance information, according to the arrest report obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Guy tried to drive off, but he couldn’t because he was too intoxicated.
According to the arrest report, Guy was slurring his words, and police could smell a strong odor of alcohol on him.
