BUSTED!

Circuit Judge Brett M. Waronicki

*UPDATE* – TC PALM / WARRANT EXECUTED:

MARTIN COUNTY − “Following complaints weeks ago that Circuit Judge Brett Waronicki was involved in drug activity at a bar in Jensen Beach, Martin County sheriff’s officials began investigating … Hours after the traffic stop — shortly before 3 a.m. April 24 — sheriff’s investigators executed a search warrant at Waronicki’s home where they reported finding items including a metal tray with cocaine residue and plastic baggies with cocaine residue, records state … Asked why Waronicki was not charged with drug possession, Budensiek said: “Technically, you can charge someone with drug possession if you have residue, but that has not held water here in Florida, and so we don’t make those charges and we treated the judge like we treat anyone else.”

CBS 12: Treasure Coast judge accused of DUI; passengers booked for cocaine

The Martin County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the arrest of Brett Waronicki following a traffic stop. He was booked into jail for DUI after allegedly refusing to take a blood-alcohol test. He also faces a count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Meanwhile, the other two people in the vehicle with him are accused of possessing cocaine.

COMING SOON Is the JQC opening up on another Broward judge in the near future?

    Florida’s judiciary is out of control. Maybe the JQC should stop recommending a Public Reprimand to everyone that bothers to respond to their inquiries. There might be a modicum of deterrence if they did something beside recommended a slap on the wrist.

      There shouldn’t be Judges on the panel. They should be judged by civilians. The same way they’re elected.

        Judges can’t vote in elections? I didn’t know that. And the JQC is made up of mostly civilians.

    Great. DeSantis appoints an Assistant Public Defender and the ass gets arrested for DUI with cocaine in the car too. That really helps. Thanks Brett.

    I have appealed one of his rulings. He granted an MSJ for the Carrier and they didn’t even have an expert to support their findings. He still granted their MSJ. It’s on appeal.

    I hope the State Attorney that receives the executive assignment is as merciless to him and the 19th SAO is to us.

      They wouldn’t even let Rosenthal’s husband back there when she was being booked.

      I wonder what the urgency was?

    At least he wasn’t showing his cucumber on the Internet like that judge down in Key West. It takes a special kind of person to be a judge in this state.

      The JQC humiliates every decent Judge, Lawyer, and citizen in this state by letting nearly everything go. They think they’re helping the judiciary by being so soft. But it’s the opposite. They erode trust in the good Judges by letting the bad ones run hog wild.

        It does seem The Supreme Court kicks an awfully high percentage of the JQC’s stipulated agreements back.

      Everything’s relative. Why are so many psychiatrist’s neurotic? Why do many professional tennis players have calluses on their hands?

          They can’t pay their student loans which they took out to go to school buy a new Tesla and go eat sushi every night. Now the piper is looking for repayment and they can’t meet the demands of repayment and daily living expenses.

    Funny how Broward routinely prosecute residue cases while Palm Beach and Dade don’t. We are ri believe that Martin County doesn’t prosecute residue cases? I’m calling bs.

      This is Broward. It’s only a matter of time before another judge walks the plank.
