Inner Demons On Outer Banks

Disciplinary charges have been filed by the North Carolina State Bar against a Superior Court judge with jurisdiction over Kill Devil Hills, made famous by the Wright brothers.

The judge’s son and companions had an encounter with KDH police that did not lead to criminal charges.

 The judge allegedly summoned government officials to a chambers meeting after the son was detained, expressed anger over the detention,  told the official that he had the power to remove them from office, became “embroiled in the affairs of the KDH police department,” accepted ex parte complaints, issued orders without any action or petition pending, and other improprieties.

The Daily Advance has details on the feud.
