Judge Charged With New Jersey DWI

New Jersey Municipal judge nabbed for second NJ DWI incident while in black Maserati.

George Korpita, a Dover municipal judge, has been charged with his second New Jersey DWI. Korpita had left Zoe's By the Lake in Sparta, New Jersey shortly after 10:30 pm when stopped by a policeman who observed a black Maserati driving erratically.

Korpita, 48, just recently resigned from his post as judge for the municipal courts in Dover, Rockaway Borough and Victory Gardens because of a New Jersey drunk driving arrest in Roxbury last November. In that incident Korpita was found slumped over the steering wheel of his car after drinking at a local go-go-bar. His blood alcohol content registered nearly three times the legal limit for driving while intoxicated in New Jersey. He reportedly told the arresting officer “I'm a judge, bro” and presented his judicial identification card. He pleaded guilty last December to NJ DWI and threatening the arresting police officers.

There is no indication that Korpita tried to use his former position to influence the police officers in the Sparta incident. He has been charged with driving while intoxicated in New Jersey, failure to keep right, careless driving and refusal to take a breath sample.
