(November 11, 2008)—A Fort Worth state district judge arrested by a police officer on Interstate 35-W in Johnson County on suspicion of drunken driving was free on her own recognizance Tuesday.

Tarrant County state District Judge Elizabeth Berry was booked into the Johnson County Jail in Cleburne over the weekend on a probable cause warrant by Alvarado police after her arrest on Interstate 35W south of Fort Worth.

Johnson County sheriff's Lt. Tim Jones said Berry was booked, and then released on her own recognizance.

In a statement released through her attorney Mark Daniel, Berry said it was premature to discuss the allegations.

Berry presided this summer over the trial of Samuel Lee Hilburn who was convicted of intoxication manslaughter and sentenced to 13 years in prison for the 2006 death of Fort Worth police Officer Dwayne Freeto.

The officer had stopped on a freeway shoulder to help a motorist with a flat tire when Hilburn slammed into the back of the patrol car, causing it to burst into flames with Freeto trapped inside.

Almost forgot to mention former sheriff Weldon Lucas of Denton co.Tx.(AKA THE UNTOUCHABLE!!)He got stopped by DPS,arrested,but,the DPS got kicked out of Denton Co.(somewhere in So. Tx.against his will for doing his job)Lucas "Got a Free Pass" also,and forced someone to move.How about that-sounds fair doese'nt it? NOT!!!!! Something MUST be done about these scofflaws,don't you agree?????!!!!!

For the record,"candida",is not necessarily an STD.I had upper lobe pnemonia in the hospital,and had broad spectrum anti-biotics,wich,by the way,kills beneficial bacteria,wich,by the way keeps yeast infections in check. I also had oral anti-biotics almost up to the time I was arrested.(p.s.I have several of the symptoms of "candida".)Fortunatly,Idon't have the nasty genital symtoms,but I do feel sleepy to the point of needing sleep immediatly after eating.(not always,but often.)Blood fermentation and "candida" ARE REAL!!!Wish I could get a medical professional to testify on my behalf without paying $10,000.Any lampasas professionals willing to help defend my case? Contact law offices with your professional expert opinon.(p.s.,it is a local lampasas office.)

I spoke with my nephew the other day(he is a former Bryan/Colledge sta. cop),and he told me the protocol for "officials" (i.e.,cops,judges,ect.)is that their offence will never be recorded ever!!!.They are expeceted to extend professional courtesy-waiving arrest.They would decide whether or not to allow the operator to continue,or make sure they,and their vehicle make it home.He said arresting a "judge" is simply not done ever!!!!!!!. "We The People" simply have no choice at all.I'm not saying driving wasted is good,but the So Called "LAW" must apply to everyone,including our "President". By the way,the DPS "Do" have a dwi "Quota system" admitted by former DPS represenative on obscure camera.I hope someone in my jury pool reads up about a condition called "candida".It is a yeast infection of the blood,and can skew a blood test result,along with other handling factors.If your reading this,check out articles about blood "fermentation"!! It is real,and preservatives can't stop it!!!
