The Rochester City Court Judge accused of driving drunk entered a not guilty plea on Friday.
Judge Leticia Astacio was charged with misdemeanor DWI February 13th after an 8 a.m. accident on Route 490 near Mt. Read Boulevard.
According to Time Warner Cable News, during Friday’s appearance, Canandaigua City Court Judge Stephen Aronson (who is hearing this case) told Astacio it is unfortunate they had to meet under these circumstances.
He then ordered Astacio to surrender her driver's license. She will have another court appearance in April.
Astacio has been hearing only civil cases in Rochester City Court since her arrest.
