'Penis Pump' Judge Nabbed for Oklahoma DUI

Former district judge charged with drunk driving in Tulsa area.

Donald D. Thompson was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Tulsa Oklahoma last Friday. The 62-year old former district judge made headlines in 2006 after being caught masturbating and using a penis pump while conducting court.

An Oklahoma State Patrol trooper spotted Thompson's vehicle stopped along side the road at 2:30 in the morning. The officer reported that the ex-judge had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and there was a strong odor of alcohol. Thompson told the trooper he did not know why he had a flat tire and damage to the driver's side of his vehicle. It was later determined that he had hit a bridge wall. A breath test revealed a blood alcohol content of .11%, above the .08% legal limit for intoxication in Oklahoma. Thompson was booked at the Tulsa jail on charges of Oklahoma drunk driving. He was released after posting a $1000 bond.

Thompson had been a judge for 22 years when he was caught masturbating. He was convicted of indecent exposure, fined $40,000 and sentenced to four consecutive one year terms. He spent over 8 months in jail before being released for good-behavior. Thompson said he used a penis pump to masturbate during four trials between 2001 and 2003, though he denied using the device while on the bench. He was required to register as a sex offender and he was disbarred by the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
