DuPage judge faces removal afer hit-and-run crash :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Chicago Crime

 

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.
