Broward judge arrested on DUI charge in courthouse parking lot
Wasted away again.
Circuit Judge Lynn Rosenthal was arrested Tuesday, accused of driving to work at the Broward County (Ft. Lauderdale, Florida) courthouse while under the influence of drugs, striking a patrol car and repeatedly hitting the gate of the judges' parking lot with her BMW, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.
The judge was also accused of driving into a concrete median on Interstate 595 shortly before her arrest. Deputies said Rosenthal admitted to taking an Ambien pill Monday night and did not appear to have been drinking alcohol ...
Rosenthal is the third Broward judge arrested for DUI in the past six months.
Broward Circuit Judge Cynthia Imperato, 57, has a pending DUI case resulting from a November 2013 incident in Boca Raton.
And on Friday, Broward County Judge Gisele Pollack was suspended from the bench pending an inquiry over allegations that she took the bench while intoxicated.
Pollack, 56, was arrested May 1 after a car crash in Plantation. Another driver was injured and Pollack was charged with four counts of DUI and failure to use due care. In that case, the State Attorney's Office said it would ask the governor's office to appoint a prosecutor from another county.
