Judge Leticia Astacio is back in the Monroe County Jail after a brief court appearance Monday afternoon.
The judge was facing four new accusations of violating probation on her DWI conviction earlier this year. Two of them came from unauthorized visits she made to the del Lago Resort and Casino.
Judge Astacio’s new lawyer, Gregory Salmon, asked Judge Stephen Aronson to terminate her probation. The judge denied the request and ordered Astacio to be taken away in handcuffs.
She’ll be back in court on November third, and will be in jail at least until then. Salmon says he’ll be filing suit against the makers of Astacio’s ankle monitoring bracelet, which he says showed her drinking alcohol when she can prove by blood test that she didn’t.
