(November 17, 2008)—A state district judge in Fort Worth who was stopped for speeding on Interstate 35 has been named in misdemeanor DWI complaint based on the results of a blood test performed after she refused a field sobriety test.
State District Judge Elizabeth Berry was charged Friday after lab results showed her blood-alcohol level was above the state's legal limit of 0.08, although Johnson County Attorney Bill Moore declined to release the exact results because the case is pending.
If convicted, Berry, who’s judge of Tarrant County’s Criminal District Court No. 3, could be sentenced to up to 180 days in jail and fined $2,000.
She was free on $1,000 bond Monday.
Alvarado police say Berry was driving 92 mph in a 65-mph zone on Nov. 8 on Interstate 35.
After she refused to take a field sobriety test and breath test, authorities obtained a warrant to take a blood sample.
Berry’s attorney, Mark Daniel says they're more than prepared to defend against the case.
The Republican judge in Fort Worth is up for re-election in 2010.
