A judge known for an infamous field sobriety test will spend another year off the bench, according to Above the Law. The judge agreed to treatment and testing to resolve his judicial misconduct case, the report says.
The resolution adds a second year away from judicial duties. The original controversy involved a sobriety test that has been widely described as unusual, with the judge reportedly asking a suspect to recite the alphabet in a manner that skipped certain letters.
The agreement ends the misconduct proceedings without a contested hearing. The judge's return to the bench will depend on completing the treatment and testing requirements, though the source does not specify further conditions.
