Akron Municipal Court Judge Joy Malek Oldfield is denying a police officer's contention that he found her and a public defender partially clothed in the back seat of a car that smelled of alcohol.

Oldfield was not charged during the early morning Feb. 5 encounter in a Copley Township parking lot. The person with her that night, Catherine Loya, an assistant public defender in Akron who appears regularly in Oldfield's court, was cited for physical control after she refused to take an alcohol breath test.

Oldfield deferred questions about the incident to her attorney, John Hill.

...

On the night in question, according to Hill, Oldfield and her husband, Charlie, were socializing with Loya and several other friends, most of whom were lawyers, at a local venue. The Oldfields had recently learned that a family member was gravely ill, he said.

At some point, Charlie Oldfield left for home, where a sitter was watching their two daughters.

The public defender looks like she’s a big fan of comfortable shoes.

Eeewww. Don’t believe it. Maybe the “public defender” slipped the judge a “Mickey”, no way that could have happened otherwise.

So de judge is a switch hitter and she does not play ball. LOL, ok, I would hit it myself.

Forget the smell of alcohol. How about the smell of the carpet.
