Judge Donald R. Spaccio, who served as a village and town court judge in Montour Falls, Schuyler County, submitted his resignation earlier in September, according to documents from the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct.
Judge Spaccio had been notified in April that the commission was investigating complaints related to his conduct, which included attending the Jan. 6 rally, as well as shouting at law enforcement when officers asked him to remove a propane cannon from his property, and yelling profanities at a town code enforcement officer during a dispute.
