An Oklahoma judge was arrested in Austin, Texas, last week after authorities say he opened fire on parked vehicles while out driving, striking at least one of them, and intentionally crashed into a woman’s vehicle, telling officers later that she had cut him off.
Brian Lovell, an associate district judge in Garfield County, Oklahoma, was arrested Sept. 11 on a misdemeanor count of reckless driving. A felony count of engaging in deadly conduct with a firearm was forwarded to a grand jury for consideration.
Lovell was released on $10,000 bond and ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation.
Driving in the states must be nerve wracking knowing there’s a good chance any given car on the road is armed.
And that there are no proper driving lessons or exams like in some European countries.
