Court documents are revealing more information about the alleged probation violations by Judge Leticia Astacio. She’ll be in court late Thursday morning to answer the new charges.
She could be looking at a return to jail depending on the judge’s decision.
On the same day she was released from jail three weeks ago, a delinquency report was filed by her probation officer stating she failed to activate her ankle monitoring bracelet. Over the next two days, that SCRAM device detected that Astacio drank alcohol, recording a blood alcohol level of .127 percent. Then on July 18, Astacio told told a probation officer that she used a foot cream that contained alcohol. Her probation conditions prohibit her from using or possessing any products that contain alcohol.
Judge Astacio served 60 days in jail and is on three years probation for violating the terms of a conditional discharge on an earlier drunken driving conviction.
