Leticia Astacio, Rochester judge, charged with drunken driving on way to court, DA says

ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Authorities say a Rochester judge has been arrested on a drunken driving charge after being pulled over on her way to court.

Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley says Judge Leticia Astacio was arrested Friday morning after being stopped by New York State troopers on Interstate 490.

Astacio, who was elected to the judicial post in 2014, was released with an appearance ticket and ordered to appear in court in March. She hasn't immediately returned a call for comment.

This sort of opens the door to attorneys to appeal any case that she adjudicated. Was she under the influence during any of those?

When you lower the bar this is what happens. Like cops most are good but some are not. These are the ones who got the job under special circumstances. THEY ARE PART OF THE IN CROWD!!!
