Back on the Bench After Weed Charge
February 16th, 2009 by Perry
An Ohio judge who was placed on administrative leave after a three-month investigation yielded burnt marijuana cigarettes (aka el roachos,) rolling papers and other paraphernalia, is now back on the gavel.
You really have to hand it to the police department in Wilmington, Ohio. They had probable cause for a search, launched a three-month investigation, and didn’t find anything you couldn’t in my apartment.
Was it worth it? How much does a three-month investigation by the Keystone Cops actually solve?
And the best part is the judge is going back on the bench after a month off with paid administrative leave, ostensibly while he sought treatment for his addiction — so what was the point of this whole charade, Wilmington PD?
