The suspect is still held responsible for the disturbance he [music] caused throughout the incident. Based on his behavior at the airport and his level of intoxication, he's charged with public affray and disorderly intoxication. This passenger thought he found a free $9,000 Cardier watch.

Let's take a look at what happens next. >> Hello, Lim. Is this >> How are you doing? I'm off your side. >> So, what's going on? >> I just had my watch >> and I just passed through and then I took it off. >> Okay. >> And now >> and I realized after half an hour that I can take but >> Okay.

Okay. >> Um >> Okay. How How time did you set it up here? >> You know, >> like an hour ago. >> Like an hour ago. >> Huh? >> Yeah.

It was on the belt on the taken from over here over here. >> Understand? Yeah understand. But I mean if you think something of value just set it back here and the passenger will come back for you know. So okay. As the investigation begins, officers collect [music] the traveler's personal information and ask about the value of the missing watch to include it in their report. >> Um, >> so they're looking to see an hour ago. >> Okay. [clears throat] >> You get all the information? >> Yes. I'm got drivers. >> Okay. Address, uh, email.

We just we just need to do it for report. >> So try to get, you know, get an idea what what the value of it is because that determines the level of audience. So, I mean, you know, you can tell me what you think it might be and then then we go from there. Okay. >> He doesn't come. Okay. Okay. >> Yeah, it's on here. Someone came by. >> So, I I can I >> can I go now? >> Yeah. Yeah, you're good to go. Just take the airport number. I'll do it all in. Okay. If I have any questions, I'll give you a call or an email.

So, what is um what would you say position? >> I'm still waiting on command. We're just usually if it's law enforcement, the judges, it's not a checkpoint violation cuz they have to have their weapon on them at all times. >> So, we It's not It's not an arrest. It's not a sight release, but that's what our command's trying to ascertain and figure out. This is the first time that we've had this in a while. So, >> so you're you guys wouldn't >> unless my supervisor they're they're checking. I'm sure they're calling. >> So, what kind of type of um identification did you see? Do you have her identification? Yeah, she's she has a steel badge. Plus, she has her she's doing. >> Despite her position, officers continue documenting the incident and finding out whether any special legal exemptions apply. >> Did you get pictures of those? >> Yeah. >> Oh, the IDs. >> Yeah. Is that address valid? >> Yes, I have. >> And you got her phone number already pass. >> Then I didn't know Yeah, third circle. I just want to let >> me start getting troll with this [ __ ] sneak. You got people coming up to you. Big facts. Why does she need a judge? >> She doesn't. >> Yeah. Why does she need her? >> Because they they want to look at all that. They got they got pictures of all. >> Follow standard procedure for Captain Randolph. Take her downstairs. Write your ticket. >> Oh, really?

Throw it down. >> Per random. >> Right. Okay. >> Well, he ran it up a train. I don't know how. >> Oh, okay. >> Nope. That's fine. >> No, don't leave. I'm going to arrest arresters. >> Oh, I know. uh per per Al they I guess uh Captain Randolph ran it up the chain so we're treating it as uh arrest sight release and sight for dangerous weapon and unregistered firearm. >> After reviewing the circumstances, officers are commanded to handle the incident the [music] same way they would any other checkpoint violation. They're directed to arrest the judge, issue her a citation, [music] and release her while the firearm registration issue continues to be reviewed. >> Right now, they ran it up command. They want us to treat it as status quo like like everything else. So, what we're going to do is we're going to it's an arrest, sight, and release, and you're going to be cited for this weapon >> and the unregistered firearm. >> Now, that was another supervisor. He said, "I think judges could have unregistered, but I'm not sure." Said something about he thought judges could have unregistered, but I'm not. >> He said he's not 100% sure. >> You can't really see that serial number. So, you know, >> said she got it from her her brother. You want me to write her? >> Just the checkpoint violation, >> not the unregistered. >> Just check. >> Okay. >> I'm going to take your information. Hey, uh I talked to Al and he said, "Yeah." He's like, "Well, since it was hard to read the serial number, just just give her a ticket for the uh checkpoint violation and not the uh unregistered cuz it is hard. It is hard to read." And she said she said the weapon belonged to her brother. She has not gotten it registered in her name, but it should be registered. He's a court officer for the third for third circuit as well. I just want to make sure that the judge was ran under my name. Yeah. Yeah. That's per per command. She's going to be arrested, released with a citation. Command's all over us. We They want this done. They want it done now. But we have to do what we got to do. Uh because she's a judge, dude. Cuz they're still screening her because it was taking so long to decide what we're doing. Here, we can come over here. So this is an arrest, right? >> So citation, right? I did put your >> The judge accepts responsibility, apologizes several times, and worries about how it could affect the career she spent decades building as both an attorney and a judge. >> You're not here, so >> I don't know.

I don't know. I have I have no idea. Captain ran it up from there. And we don't know who he talked to or >> but I know the commander wants this report done like yesterday for some reason. So, >> um with the 34th District Court. All right. So, >> and 14 days. >> Yeah. Do you >> And then the weapon will stay with you guys. >> The weapon will stay and once everything's cleared and everything. >> My brother said that he doesn't Yeah. He just I talked to him just now and he said that it both of us are puzzled because I took off. >> It's hard to read. So, >> yeah. And that's what I was telling him that you guys were having a hard time reading it. But then he said that when he bought it, he told me where he bought it from in case you guys needed it. And he also told me >> and prove that ownership can do it that way. Then they'll get you the firearm back. >> Okay. All right. >> All right. I don't care about that at this point or care about my career. >> Oh, I hear you. I I hear you. >> Problem. I can't have any. >> No, the reason I we couldn't read it, we didn't do the unregistered, but you said it was fought in Ohio. >> I've heard the supervisor say that. I was so grateful. >> Okay. >> All right, ma'am. I'm I'm I'm deeply sorry. Okay. >> Well, no, no, it's not your fault. It's my fault. >> All right. >> My life right now. >> Okay. >> I'm so sorry to bother you guys. >> Yeah. Don't. Yeah. We people I mean this is literally what I mean I'm sure it's going to be they're going to look at it differently than you. >> The officer tells her he understands that serving as a judge makes her situation different, but also acknowledges that her public position means the incident is likely to receive greater scrutiny. But the regular person right off the street comes like usually what they do after 6 months if if they're clear whatever it goes off the record but as you know everything >> everything is not always there >> it's always there right so but it won't be >> yeah I've been a judge for 18 and 1/2 years a lawyer for almost 30 I have never had anything like this happen in my life I'm a lawyer >> well maybe there is some some there's probably some legal stuff and maybe this is just kind of go away. I don't I don't know. >> I pray they'll do a legal advisement or something. But I I really appreciate you all. You've both been very very kind, gentlemen. I appreciate it so much. >> All right. You You are officially released. I'm I'm ending the recording. >> The judge later pleads no [music] contest to the checkpoint violation and receives 90 days of probation.
