An Oklahoma judge awaiting trial for allegedly shooting at parked vehicles and rear-ending a woman in Texas now faces charges in his own state, accusing him of shooting into the home of his brother-in-law six months before the road-rage incident. Garfield County Associate District Judge Brian Lovell, 59, was indicted by a grand jury on Thursday on two felony counts involving a drive-by shooting into a home, Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond announced.
40-caliber pistol had been stolen from his pickup between Jan. 28 and Feb. 11, according to the sheriff’s report. Lovell has not been hearing cases since September, when he was arrested in Austin for allegedly driving into the rear of a woman's vehicle, about 90 minutes after officers responded to reports of a man firing at parked vehicles as he drove down a street in the area.
