A Texas judge reportedly pleaded guilty to a driving while intoxicated charge after a late-night traffic stop in Montgomery, according to court records.
The incident happened around 2:30 a.m. on December 10, when the authorities said a vehicle was observed speeding well above the posted limit and drifting within its lane. An officer initiated a stop and told the driver he had been going more than 60 miles per hour in a 35 mph zone and had been swerving.
During the encounter, the authorities said the driver showed signs that were consistent with possible intoxication. An officer noted that his eyes appeared red and glassy and claimed there was an odor of alcohol. When questioned, the driver first reportedly minimized his drinking, then later denied having consumed any alcohol at all.
