Court censures Albemarle judge for abusing driving privilege permits
North Carolina Supreme Court censured Albemarle District Court Judge BE Crutchfield for issuing restricted driving permits outside the courtroom after first-offense drunk driving cases. The action followed a Judicial Standards Commission recommendation under a 1971 law. Justice Lake dissented, calling the Commission’s establishment unconstitutional, while critics question the rarity of such actions and the overall oversight of judges.
