A Georgia Superior Court Judge was arrested for drunk driving after he backed his Mercedes into a truck in the parking lot of Wacko’s Gentlemen’s Club early Tuesday morning.
48-year-old Robert Guy Jr. was arrested and booked on Friday after he backed his Mercedes into a Ford F-150 and then offered the owner of the truck $500 to avoid giving his identity and insurance information, according to the arrest report obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Guy tried to drive off, but he couldn’t because he was too intoxicated.
According to the arrest report, Guy was slurring his words, and police could smell a strong odor of alcohol on him.
After repeatedly refusing to hand over his ID, Guy was arrested at the strip club and charged with DUI, failing to submit to a breathalyzer, and DUI-property damage.
The Sheriff’s Department did not released Guy’s booking photo because of his status as a judge.
Guy reported his arrest to Georgia’s Judicial Qualifications Commission and then resigned.
“It has been a distinct honor and privilege to serve the Council of Superior Court Judges as President and in other roles; however, today I am resigning effectively immediately as Council President,” Guy wrote in a statement, according to the AJC.
