A Montana judge named Robert E. Lee (of all things) who has been chosen to help operate a new DUI court has now been charged with driving under the influence himself. From the sound of it, he was way, way under. Here's what the AP says happened:
Lee is charged with driving to the Butte-Silver Bow County
Courthouse on Nov. 13 while under the influence of methadone, a synthetic narcotic used to relieve pain or prevent withdrawal symptoms from drug addiction.
Apparently Lee performed "poorly" on a field sobriety test, which, duh. He was only just charged, though, and the cops are offering no explanation as to why that's happening now, instead of back in November.
