Bad Judgment
S E A T T L E Sometimes justice is blind drunk.
Washington Supreme Court Justice Bobbe Bridge was cited for drunken driving and hit and run on Feb. 28. She allegedly ran her silver Mercedes into a parked car at around 9:15 p.m. and then tried to speed off.
"On Friday evening I made an extremely poor decision and drove my car after having too much to drink," Bridge, 58, said in a statement.
"I know my behavior was inexcusable."
Another driver saw the incident, slowed down in front of Bridge to box her car in, and called police.
Bridge's blood-alcohol level was 0.21 percent, nearly three times the legal limit of 0.08, police said.
Bridge promised she would have a professional examine her drinking habits and enroll in any treatment recommended.
Under state law, Bridge's driver's license could be suspended for 90 days and the judge could be sentenced to a minimum two-day stay in jail.
