DuPage County judge fined and placed on probation for a June hit-and-run crash with a parked car now faces disciplinary action that could result in his removal from the bench.
The veteran, 59-year-old judge struck a parked car with his 2003 Jeep, but didn’t stop or report the crash.
Instead, he continued driving to his Wheaton home, at one point forcing a 13-year-old jogger to abruptly jump out of the way of his vehicle, authorities said following the crash.
Popejoy has been on the bench since 1997 and faces a retention vote this fall to retain his seat.
