An Oklahoma judge was arrested in Texas for firing a gun at several cars

OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma judge was arrested in Austin, Texas, last week after authorities say he opened fire on parked vehicles while out driving, striking at least one of them, and intentionally crashed into a woman's vehicle, telling officers later that she had cut him off.

Brian Lovell, an associate district judge in Garfield County, Oklahoma, was arrested Sept. 11 on a misdemeanor count of reckless driving. A felony count of engaging in deadly conduct with a firearm was forwarded to a grand jury for consideration.

Lovell was released on $10,000 bond and ordered to undergo a mental health evaluation.

“We have zero comment,” said a woman who answered a phone call Friday to a number listed as Lovell's. The woman identified herself as Lovell's wife but declined to give her name.

Lovell didn't immediately reply to a phone message left at another number listed as his, and he declined to comment to a KFOR-TV reporter who went to his home in Waukomis, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) northwest of Oklahoma City.

An Oklahoma judge was arrested in Texas for firing a gun at several cars during a road rage incident and slamming his SUV into the back of a woman's car multiple times. Brian Noel Lovett was released from jail after posting a $10,000 bond. This is what a thug looks like.

Yes, people get out on small bonds for shoplifting or bar fights, but this was a potentially deadly attack. It was thanks to sheer luck that nobody was killed, and only $10k bond?! They guy is clearly dangerous to be out and about.

How could he be so careless? So callous and thoughtless?

Guns are for shooting at PEOPLE!

(Just in case anyone didn’t get it…)

Probably why he's not connecting with certain MAGA elements. No going woke for sure.

And it's illegal to squeeze off a few rounds at parked cars? Probably all that wokeness in Austin. At least, that's how it will be reported on Fox.

by wearing short tight mini-skirts, or they flipped him off which provoked him, he's the victim.

If the car owners had only stood their ground, there would have been no further need to go through the whole bail procedure.
