A high-flying Texas judge overseeing a number of significant criminal trials has mysteriously been missing from the courtroom for nearly a month amid concerns of manic behavior and a police interaction, according to a report.

Judge Kelli Johnson, one of Harris County’s longest-serving current jurists, hasn’t been seen at the 178th District Courthouse in Houston since May 1 — with no explanation on where she has gone or when she’s set to return, ABC13 reported.

A court spokesperson has so far only confirmed “Johnson is out for personal matters” after initially refusing to address the judge’s unexplained absence.

But an unnamed person who works at the courthouse has since alluded to what the outlet described as “manic behavior” in the lead-up to Johnson apparently vanishing from the bench.

“She’s a danger to herself and to the community,” the staffer alleged.

Is that a sandwich?

Or a euphemism?

More likely she is in the same loony bin as county judge Lena Hidalgo lived in for a few months.

Is that a sandwich?

Recent court rulings have determined that a taco is, in fact, a sandwich.

Either way, it deserves its own post, perhaps in Breaking News.
