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.
