There Goes da Judge
James Mrzlak, 49, resigned as Saguache County Court judge after pleading guilty to a drunken-driving charge in February. It was His Honor’s second such offense.
Mrzlak pleaded guilty to driving while ability impaired. He was granted a deferred sentence for a year and must complete alcohol counseling, perform 48 hours of community service, and pay court costs. His earlier offense resulted in three points against his driver’s license.
