The Judicial Discipline and Disability Commission has filed a petition with the Arkansas State Supreme Court recommending Judge Fred D. Davis be temporarily suspended with pay from his judicial duties. Davis is a circuit court judge in Pine Bluff.
Judge Davis was arrested on Thursday, June 10 in Garland County and charged with driving while intoxicated, failure to register vehicle and unlawful use of a dealer tag.
According to police, Davis stated he knew the tag was expired, but that he could not afford the sales tax because he was paying college tuition for his children.
Davis says his blood alcohal level was below the legal limit and adds he has paid for his tags since his arrest.
