Judge Sideswipes Then Keeps Driving | Tampa News

A Sarasota judge, Thomas Krug, is facing a careless driving charge after allegedly sideswiping another car on August 25th and failing to stop — despite witness testimony and surveillance footage identifying his blue BMW. The driver reported feeling the impact and trying to flag him down, but he merged into traffic without noticing. Krug claims he was simply merging and didn’t see the other vehicle, adding he was surprised when police contacted him since he hadn’t even checked his car. His case will be handled by an outside judge, and he’s been temporarily reassigned from felony criminal court to family court. His attorney has not yet commented.
