Rochester judge arrested for driving drunk on her way to court, prosecutor says PrintEmail By Associated Press on February 14, 2016 at 1:45 AM, updated February 14, 2016 at 1:59 AM ROCHESTER, N.Y. — A Rochester judge was arrested Saturday morning on a drunken driving charge after being pulled over on her way to court, authorities said. Rochester City Court Judge Leticia Astacio, 34, was arrested by New York State troopers on Interstate 490, Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley said. Rochester City Judge Leticia Astacio.WHAM-TV/Facebook Trooper Chris Kowalski told the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle that the judge's vehicle was involved possibly in a one-car crash. Police said Astacio refused to take a Breathalyzer test. Astacio, a Democrat elected to the judicial post in 2014, was formerly a member of the Monroe County District Attorney's Office, where she worked in the drunken driving bureau. She was released with an appearance ticket and ordered to appear in court in March. She hasn't immediately returned a call for comment. Astacio was stopped on her way to court, where she was scheduled to preside over criminal court arraignments, Doorley said. Another judge was called in after Astacio was arrested. A spokesman for the state court system did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Astacio's arrest.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHAM) - Sources tell 13WHAM News that Judge Leticia Astacio was caught driving despite a court order preventing her to drive pending the outcome of her DWI case. 13WHAM News has learned police may have obtained video footage supporting a charge of second-degree Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a motor vehicle. Initial reports from sources indicate that the infraction occurred last week when Rochester City Court Judge Leticia Astacio commuted to the Hall of Justice for a court appearance related to her Driving While Intoxicated case. Astacio, 34, was arrested on February 13 and charged with driving while intoxicated. Judge Astacio was scheduled to sit on the bench that morning and handle criminal arraignments. State Police said she had a BAC of .19 during a pre-screening test done in the field. However, that test cannot be used in court. Astacio refused to take a breathalyzer test. She pleaded not guilty to the charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt.Storm Posted June 9, 2016 Author Share Posted June 9, 2016 some fb comments. Herb Schuhart Did I read that right? Did Valentino say that Astacio is above the law and she will only get a slap on the wrist? Makes me wonder how many times she was trashed when she was on the bench. Maybe all her past cases need to be reviewed. Like · Reply · 5 · Mar 12, 2016 12:53am · Edited Jay Schneider · Works at Here and there I guess we read different articles.

Like · Reply · 1 · Mar 12, 2016 7:02am Patti Johnson · Honeoye, New York My feeling is that any person in an authoratative position should be held to a higher standard. In this case, the judge who so often presides over drunk driving cases should expect a harsher punishment to demonstrate the seriousness of the violation. Maybe that's why everything is going downhill. The lawmakers, representatives, senators, etc. are treated too softly while the average Joe gets nailed to the wall.
