Iowa Judge Arrested for DUI | Des Moines News

Iowa judge Adria Kester, arrested for DUI with a BAC of 0.31–0.40%—far above the legal limit—has dropped her fight to keep arrest records sealed, admitting the public has a right to see her at her worst. The incident began when drivers reported a truck driving the wrong way; Kester was found in the median, unresponsive but awake, refusing to cooperate with officers. A later blood test showed 0.25% BAC, but experts estimate her level was much higher while driving. She pleaded guilty, was suspended with pay, and expressed regret for failing the public’s trust as an investigation by the Judicial Qualifications Commission continues.
