Philly Traffic Court Judge Willie Singletary’s willy gets him into trouble
WHAT A HEEL: Traffic Court Judge Willie Singletary has been removed from the bench for (allegedly) pulling a Weiner and showing a photograph of his, um, willy to a Philadelphia Parking Authority contractor, The Legal Intelligencer reports:
The alleged incident involving the lewd photo took place on the same day [Common Pleas Court Judge Gary S. Glazer] was named to lead the Traffic Court.
The state Supreme Court took the unprecedented step Dec. 19 of appointing a Common Pleas Court judge to oversee the Philadelphia Traffic Court in the wake of an ongoing FBI investigation into alleged ticket-fixing.
Three days later, Glazer asked Singletary to step down from the bench while he was in the middle of hearing cases. He relieved Singletary of his judicial assignment, told Singletary not to have contact with the people involved and had Singletary escorted from the building by three Philadelphia sheriff's deputies, according to a court source. Glazer took the bench to hear the rest of Singletary's docket, the source said.
Glazer has recommended to the Supreme Court that Singletary be suspended, the source said.
This, by the way, is the same Singletary who was disciplined for a 2007 campaign appearance at a motorcycle rally in which he solicited donations from members of the Philadelphia First State Road Rattlers by implying that they would receive favorable treatment ("Now you all want me to get there, you're all going to need my hook-up, right?").
