Judge Resigns Administrative Role After Tire Deflation Incidents
A Maryland judge who admittedly deflated a courthouse worker’s car tire on more than one occasion has resigned from his role as chief administrative judge of the Charles County Circuit Court but plans to remain active on the bench, reports the Washington Post.
“I am at a stage of my career where I feel that I can be of more use to the judiciary as a judge in the trenches than as someone with budget, planning, personnel and other management responsibilities,” writes Circuit Judge Robert Nalley, 65, in a letter to Chief Judge Robert Bell of the Maryland Court of Appeals.
The letter makes no reference to the tire deflation incidents discussed in earlier ABAJournal.com posts today and yesterday.
McNally, who is a former prosecutor, has been on the Charles County bench since 1980, according to his court biography.
