PRESCOTT, Ariz. — A judge in central Arizona who was charged with extreme DUI earlier this year has resigned.
The independent state agency said it won’t pursue disciplinary sanctions against the 45-year-old Hancock, who had been a Yavapai County Superior Court judge since 2010. Police said body camera footage of the traffic stop showed Hancock telling officers that she drank a couple of glasses of wine a few hours before being pulled over.
Hancock pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor DUI charge in May, spent a day in jail and paid a fine of $1,650.
