3 Indiana judges suspended after a night of drinking turned into a White Castle brawl

https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/15/us/indiana-judges-white-castle-brawl-trnd/index.html

(CNN)Three Indiana judges have been suspended without pay for their involvement in an intoxicated fight outside a White Castle, according to court documents.

An opinion from the Indiana Supreme Court ruled that the three judges -- Andrew Adams of the Clark Circuit Court 1, Bradley B. Jacobs of the Clark Circuit Court 2 and Sabrina R. Bell of the Crawford Circuit Court -- engaged in judicial misconduct by participating in the brawl in the restaurant's parking lot in Downtown Indianapolis.

-------------------------

Adams, Bell and Jacobs arrived in Indianapolis for a statewide judicial educational event on April 30 and began to drink and socialize, the document said.

At around 3 a.m. the next morning, the judges walked together to a strip club, the document said. But the club was closed and they walked to a nearby White Castle restaurant.

While they were standing outside in the White Castle parking lot, two men drove by and shouted something at the three judges out of the window of their vehicle. Bell flipped off the men, the document said, and they pulled into the lot and the five began to argue.

The document said Bell was intoxicated at the time and has no memory of the incident or what was said to incite it.

The verbal argument then turned physical, with Jacobs bringing one of the men to the ground and Adams kicking him in the back. The fight ended when the man pulled out a gun, shooting Adams once and Jacobs twice, the document said. The men were taken to local hospitals and underwent emergency surgeries.
