A Well-Armed Judge

The Ohio Supreme Court entered an order disqualifying a judge from sitting in light of a recent felony indictment.

WKYC.com reported on the charges

Mason, 46, of Cleveland, who is also a former Democratic member of the Ohio Senate and represented the 25th District from 2007 to 2008, is accused of attacking his wife Aisha Mason just after noon Aug. 2 while they were driving in their car with their two children on Van Aken Boulevard.

Court documents reflect that Mason hit his wife with his fists, slammed her head against the dashboard and bit her.

They have been married since 2005 and separated this past March.

In a 9-1-1 call, his wife told dispatchers he threw her out of the car, beat her and then drove off with the children.

And from Raw Story comes the results of a search of the judge’s home
