Story by David Harris • 20h

An Iowa judge pleaded guilty about a month after she was busted driving the wrong way down a highway and appeared to be passed out as she crashed into a median.

Adria Kester, the chief judge of the Hawkeye State's Second Judicial District, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of operating while under the influence — first offense, court records say. Local CBS affiliate KCCI reported Kester will be on probation for a year, must pay a $1,250 fine and complete a 48-hour OWI program.
 
Concerned motorists called 911 shortly after 8 p.m. on Nov. 4 after seeing Kester's 2026 GMC Canyon Denali slowly driving east in the westbound lanes of U.S. Highway 30 near Boone, which is some 45 miles northwest of Des Moines, a criminal complaint obtained by The Associated Press said.

Even though she's an atrocious example of someone who follows the law, has put herself and others at risk by drinking and driving, and should recuse herself from any case involving drinking and driving, I'm sure she is an excellent legal mind and will keep her legal position - probably with a raise.
