An Oklahoma judge was arrested in Austin, Texas, last week after authorities say he opened fire on parked vehicles while out driving, striking at least one of them, and intentionally crashed into a woman's vehicle, telling officers later that she had cut him off.
Brian Lovell, an associate district judge in Garfield County, Oklahoma, was arrested Sept. 11 on a misdemeanor count of reckless driving. A felony count of engaging in deadly conduct with a firearm was forwarded to a grand jury for consideration."We have zero comment," said a woman who answered a phone call Friday to a number listed as Lovell's. The woman identified herself as Lovell's wife but declined to give her name.
According to an Austin police affidavit, officers were called just after 4 p.m. on Sept. 11 by a witness who reported a man firing "approximately five times while driving down the street," striking at least one of the parked vehicles. Lovell told police there were two handguns in his vehicle, but he said "he did not know why he would have shot his gun and could not recall any part of the shooting incident," according to the affidavit.
