A circuit court judge has acknowledged he deflated a tire on a car parked in a restricted area near his courthouse earlier this week. But he isn't apologizing.
Charles County Judge Robert C. Nalley told station WUSA on Wednesday that he let out the air because leaving notes for those parked illegally isn't effective.
The chief administrative judge for Maryland's 7th Circuit said Nalley told him what he had done on Monday. Judge William D. Missouri suggested to The Washington Post that Nalley might be sanctioned.
The owner of the car, Jean Washington, works part-time at the courthouse in La Plata as part of a cleaning crew and said she didn't know she couldn't park in the restricted area. She said she never received any warnings.
Police are investigating the incident.

People always asked me why I don’t have any respect for our judicial system. I tell them that I do. My favorite “lawyer” movie is “...and Justice for All.” with Al Pacino. That’s the way I see our system.
I see nothing wrong with what he did. Parking spots are valuable. Instant justice. Who needs courts and legal wrangling.
As screwed up as the system is, this jerk could have done much worse to her if he wanted and gotten away with it without any sanction.
Kritarchy (rule of judges) gone wild!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
