Baton Rouge Police Ticket 19th JDC for Hit and Run

The Advocate reports that 19th JDC Judge Don Johnson was cited for misdemeanor counts of hit-and-run, failure to maintain control of a motor vehicle and driving without proof of insurance after he smashed head-on into a utility pole Wednesday night and left the scene of the accident. "According to a witness, Johnson smelled strongly of beer, Kelly said, but added that whether alcohol played a role in the crash is impossible to know."
