Authorities Arrest Judge For Alleged DUI In Strip Club Parking Lot
A Georgia judge was arrested for alleged drunk driving after he got into a fender bender in the parking lot of a Florida strip club.
Robert “Bert” Guy Jr., 48, allegedly backed his Mercedes-Benz into a Ford F-150 in the parking lot of Wacko’s Gentlemen’s Club in Jacksonville.
He resigned from his position as president of Georgia’s Council of Superior Court Judges after his arrest.

More from the New York Post:
The Superior Court judge allegedly backed his Mercedes-Benz into a Ford F-150 in the strip club’s parking at 3 a.m. Tuesday — then offered the other driver $500 to avoid exchanging information, alerting him to his powerful position, according to an arrest report obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
The judge then attempted to drive away — but “was unable to do so as he appeared highly intoxicated,” a parking valet told police.
Guy was escorted back inside Wacko’s Gentlemen’s Club, where employees “kept a watchful eye on him,” the affidavit said.
He smelled strongly of alcohol, appeared confused, and was slurring his words when law enforcement arrived, according to the arrest report.
Guy repeatedly insisted he didn’t have his keys and refused to hand over his ID, according to the arrest report.
He was arrested at the scene and charged with DUI and DUI-property damage, along with an additional charge for later failing to submit to a breathalyzer test, jail logs show.
The sheriff’s office did not release Guy’s booking photo, citing his status as an active judge.
Guy was booked into a Jacksonville jail and released after posting a $3,000 bond, Daily Mail noted.

Daily Mail shared further info:
Guy has already self-reported his arrest to Georgia’s Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC), which oversees judicial conduct in the state.
JQC Director Courtney Veal has since confirmed that an investigation is underway.
‘It arose out of a minor fender-bender in the parking lot there, and we’re hopeful that we’ll be able to resolve the matter,’ Guy’s attorney, Lester Tate, said in a statement to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Tate added that Guy has retained a Florida lawyer to handle the criminal proceedings.
Guy, a native of Camden County near the Florida border, was first elected to the bench in 2016 and took office the following year, The Independent reported.
In his current role, he represents Georgia’s judges during the state’s legislative sessions and serves on the Judicial Council of Georgia.
