Mississippi Criminal Law BlogJudge Christine Ward of Pennsylvania was cited for DUI over the weekend after admitting to state troopers that she had too much to drink. The Judge, who works on civil litigation cases, has been accused of being intoxicated while driving.
According to WPXI of Pittsburg, Judge Ward “staggered as she walked…and at one point Ward fell to her side.”
During the incident, Judge Ward was observed by the police to have “exhibited difficulty standing on her own as she leaned on her vehicle.” Once Judge Ward had been arrested and “taken to the hospital for blood work,” police reported “she refused to submit to the blood test three times.”
Is the Judge trying to tell us to follow her lead and refuse the test? (three times)
If you or anyone that you know has been arrested for driving under the influence, please do not hesitate to call the Law Office of Carmody, Stewart, & Mixon at (601) 948-4444.
