IN THE MATTER OF THE HONORABLE

MICKEY K. WEBER, JUDGE 

OF THE CLARKSVILLE TOWN COURT

_________________________________

JUDICIAL DISCIPLINARY ACTION

_________________________________

December 5, 2015

Per Curiam.

This matter comes before the Court as a result of a judicial disciplinary action brought by 

the Indiana Commission on Judicial Qualifications (“Commission”) against Respondent Mickey 

K. Weber, Judge of the Clarksville Town Court. Article 7, section 4 of the Indiana Constitution 

and Indiana Admission and Discipline Rule 25 give the Indiana Supreme Court original 

jurisdiction over this matter.

Subsequent to the filing of formal charges by the Commission, the parties jointly 

tendered a “Statement of Circumstances and Conditional Agreement for Discipline” in which 

they have stipulated to the following facts. On January 16, 2014, Respondent was involved in an 

automobile accident in Louisville, Kentucky, that resulted in property damage to two parked cars 

and a fence. When later questioned by police at the hospital, Respondent admitted consuming
2

alcohol prior to driving and having “too many” beers at a local area bar. Respondent refused to 

submit to a breathalyzer test or provide a blood sample. Noticing Respondent had glassy eyes 

and slurred speech, the officer arrested Respondent. 

The following day, Respondent reported his arrest to the Commission and contacted the 

Indiana Judges and Lawyers Assistance Program (“JLAP”).

On March 28, 2014, Respondent pled guilty to Criminal Mischief in the second degree, 

Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 512.030 (West 2014), and Operating a Motor Vehicle While under the 

Influence of Alcohol, Ky. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 189A.010(5)(a) (West Supp. 2014). The court 

ordered Respondent to complete an alcohol class, assessed fines and court costs against him, and 

imposed a mandatory driver’s license suspension against Respondent.

The parties agree that the conduct recited above violates Rules 1.11and 1.22of the Code 

of Judicial Conduct. The parties also agree that the gravity of Respondent’s conduct is 

aggravated by the fact that Respondent has had previous legal issues related to alcohol abuse and 

still engaged in the conduct recited above. In mitigation, the parties note that he is remorseful 

for his conduct and at no time during the police investigation or arrest did Respondent refer to 

his judicial title or allude to his judicial status, nor did he attempt to gain any advantage in his 

criminal proceedings from his status as an Indiana judge. 

In light of the facts of this case, the parties submit that the appropriate sanction is as 

follows: a public reprimand; Respondent’s resignation from the Clarksville Town Court within 

ten (10) days of the date of this opinion, to be effective on December 31, 2014; Respondent’s 

ineligibility for future judicial service unless/until he successfully completes an approved 

treatment plan and two-year monitoring agreement with JLAP; and Respondent paying the costs 

 

1 Rule 1.1 provides, “A judge shall comply with the law, including the Code of Judicial Conduct.” 

Ind. Judicial Conduct Rule 1.1 (West 2014) (definitional asterisk removed).

2 Rule 1.2 provides, “A judge shall act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the 

independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety and the appearance 

of impropriety.” Jud. Cond. R. 1.2 (definitional asterisks removed).
3

of this proceeding. The Court accepts the parties’ Statement of Circumstances and Conditional 

Agreement for Discipline and the proposed sanction it contains.

Accordingly, Mickey K. Weber, Judge of the Clarksville Town Court, is hereby 

reprimanded. Within ten (10) days of the date of this opinion, Judge Weber shall tender his 

resignation from the Clarksville Town Court, which shall be effective December 31, 2014. 

Thereafter, he shall be ineligible for future judicial service in Indiana unless/until he submits to, 

and successfully completes to the satisfaction of JLAP, a two-year monitoring agreement and 

treatment plan approved by JLAP. 

This discipline terminates the disciplinary proceedings relating to the circumstances 

giving rise to this cause.
