They did not find his car in the vicinity. Saturday's arrest is the latest in an embarrassing string of alcohol-related incidents for Bradley. After 15 years on the bench, Bradley was temporarily suspended April 1 and put on sick leave from his $107,000-per-year job. The suspension came following two drunk-driving arrests, in which Bradley allegedly tried to use his position to avoid arrest and had blood-alcohol levels of 0.21 and 0.27. Those arrests were followed by allegations of Bradley reporting to work drunk, and two more alleged incidents of drunk driving. In those incidents, officers said they simply drove the judge home. In late March, Bradley said he had an alcohol problem and entered a 30-day alcohol treatment program in San Diego San Diego (săn dēā`gō), city (1990 pop. 1,110,549), seat of San Diego co., S Calif., on San Diego Bay; inc. 1850.

He asked the state's judicial performance commission to allow him to return to the bench after completing the program and an additional 30 days of sobriety. The commission turned down the request, refusing to allow Bradley to return until his case is resolved. Bradley will appear in Ventura County Court on May 22 on the probation violation charges. He is free on $3,000 bond. |
