Judge Monica Hawkins of Columbus, OH; drunken scofflaw

The state of Indiana presented Monica Elaine Hawkins with a law license in 2000 after she graduated from Capitol University School of Law

It should be noted that Monica has had her significant snout firmly implanted in the public trough for the past twenty years. Apparently, no self-respecting law firm in the greater Columbus area was about to offer her a good paying job.

• Arrested Thursday night and charged with driving under the influence (DUI)
• Police report states Monica pulled her Infiniti sedan over in the parking lot of a Subway after the officer activated the cruiser lights
• Officer Mercedes Gavins wrote that Monica nearly hit the curb, crossed lane markings, and had been making abrupt stops
• Gavins further reported that Monica smelled like alcohol, and identified herself as a judge
• Monica failed field sobriety tests
• She refused to sign a waiver of her Miranda rights
• Refused to submit to more alcohol related tests
• She was subsequently transported to OhioHealth Pickerington to have her blood drawn
• Refused to provide blood sample even after being advised of a warrant
• OhioHealth security had to file a report in regards to holding her down for a sample

All that remains now is to see what if any punishment is meted to Monica by the enablers for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Ohio Supreme Court.

As we speak (ca. February 2019), Monica continues to sit [when sober] as a Franklin County Domestic Relations Judge in Columbus, Ohio.
