Rochester City Court Judge Leticia Astacio has been accused of another drunken incident after her DWI conviction last year.
Marketplace Mall security guard Alan Pimm responded to a complaint of women refusing to leave an employee bathroom at the Papaya Asian Kitchen and Bar in November.
"That's when one of the females stated, 'You can't (pepper) spray me, I'm a judge,'" Pimm told police, according to his Nov. 29 deposition. "At that point I could tell she was intoxicated, due to her slurred speech and lack of balance.
Pimm, who says he told them to leave while holding a vial of pepper spray, said he recognized her as "Judge Astacio."
Pimm's testimony was made public in a court filing after Astacio was accused of violating the conditions of her drunk driving sentence for a third time. Astacio was stripped of her judicial duties, but not her title or $174,000 salary, after being found guilty of driving while intoxicated in August.

You’re oh so close! :)
THREE DWIs that would get any of us thrown in jail....It does not say she three DWI’s. I says the third violation of her probation/ court order. She probaly was told to stay away from alcohol. Ir is apparent she hasn’t.
Thanks for the response. Sounds like 50 yrs ago, you should have been knocking some folks into snowbanks too!
A $174k/yr you’d think she could afford to take a taxi now and again. Idiot.
A DWI followed by two separate probation violations would probably be enough to get most of us thrown in jail by now.
An obvious affirmative-action hire. No wonder the court is often held in disdain.
“... she won’t have her license lifted...”
I wonder if the defendants in her court room the last few years will file some sort of petition for new trials? A judge makes legal decisions during trials and it appears that she has an alcohol problem.... then those she judged should be given fairness IMHO.
>“You can’t (pepper) spray me, I’m a judge’”
that belongs on a T shirt.
“women” “refused to leave the bathroom”. Something going on?
Exactly. Sent to Drudge for submission! bwa ha ha ha
I live just 40 minutes east of Rochester and was a long time Rochester resident. This affirmative action “judge” was nasty to anyone who wasn’t minority. And that’s a fact.
Same “above the law” ‘tude as your average leftist
Democrats appoint activist ‘judges’ to legislate from the bench. WE NEED TO DO THE SAME.
“WE NEED TO DO THE SAME.”
How about get rid of the activist judges? Not act like a conservative version of them.
Obama put the most liberal lawyers on the Supreme Court he could find. We need to do the same. It’s nuts for us to play by the rules while they cheat.
Find conservative activist judges and put them on the bench up and down the system... now and forever.

Getting rid of the ‘activist’ and replacing them with fair and impartial judges is better.
Just like replacing propagandist journalist with real journalist who report the facts is better.
The problem with not appointing “conservative activists” is that the so-called “fair and impartial” judge will often feel a need to adhere to precedent even when its constitutionally unsound and should be overturned.
You're right.
It's past time to lift the veil of the judicial system... they're receiving more respect then they deserve. One team attempting to play by the rules and one team cheating creates a game theory situation where the cheaters win - - NOT healthy for a free society.
