Shocking Footage: Arizona Judge Found Drunk with Pants Down, Urinates in Public While Her Husband Tackles Police During Arrest
In a bizarre and humiliating scandal that has shaken an Arizona community, a local judge and her husband were arrested after a late-night incident spiraled into chaos — complete with public urination, drunken behavior, and a physical altercation with law enforcement.
According to police in Prescott, Arizona, officers responded to a disturbance outside a local bar shortly after midnight, only to find a scene that one cop later called “absolutely disgusting.” The woman, later identified as a sitting judge, was allegedly so intoxicated that she could barely stand, yet insisted on reminding officers of her position on the bench. Witnesses say she had her pants down, visibly relieving herself in public, when officers approached to intervene.
Bodycam footage reportedly shows the judge slurring her words and struggling to identify herself. When officers asked for her name, she reportedly blurted out, “I’m a judge!” — but couldn’t spell it correctly. Authorities noted in the affidavit that the 42-year-old was so impaired she “couldn’t spell her own name,” and that the stench of alcohol was overwhelming.
The situation escalated quickly when her husband, a local town official, attempted to intervene as police questioned her. Witnesses described the man as “belligerent” and “out of control,” tackling one of the responding officers in an attempt to block the arrest. Officers were forced to take him to the ground as onlookers watched in disbelief. Police described it as a scene of complete chaos — a judge and her husband, both public servants, behaving in a way that would embarrass any citizen, let alone those sworn to uphold the law.
The woman was detained for disorderly conduct and public indecency, while her husband faces charges of resisting arrest and obstruction. Neither name has been officially released pending a full investigation, but local outlets, citing court records and public employment rosters, have identified the pair as high-profile figures in the Prescott area.
The responding officers’ bodycam audio reportedly captures one officer saying, “This is disgusting. She’s a judge, and she can’t even spell her own name.” Police say she refused multiple sobriety tests, telling officers, “You can’t do this to me,” while being escorted to a patrol car.
The Yavapai County Government confirmed that the matter is under review, and that the Arizona Commission on Judicial Conduct has been notified. Prescott Police Chief Amy Bonney told reporters that law enforcement “will not treat this case any differently because of her title,” emphasizing that “public office does not grant immunity from accountability.”
Video of the incident has gone viral on social media, sparking outrage among residents who say the couple’s behavior is “a stain on public trust.” Some have called for the judge’s immediate resignation, while others questioned whether favoritism might influence how the charges are handled.
For now, both remain under investigation as Arizona’s judicial community faces another ethics crisis. The footage — which circulated widely Friday night — paints a stark picture of hypocrisy, privilege, and poor judgment that will likely haunt the pair for years to come.
