CHARLESTON, W.Va.
(AP) — A West Virginia Supreme Court official says a Putnam County
family court judge facing ethics allegations unexpectedly took the rest
of the year off.
Family court services director Lisa Tackett says
Putnam court personnel reported Judge William Watkins' departure
Wednesday. The Supreme Court appointed a former judge to fill in.
Watkins tells The Charleston Gazette he normally takes off this time of year and will return Jan. 2.
Tackett
says judges planning to be off that long typically ask the chief
justice to appoint someone to handle their domestic violence cases,
which have a 10-day limit.
Watkins faces allegations that he
delayed rulings, failed to enter domestic violence orders into the
state's tracking system and screamed and cursed at litigants. A state
Judicial Hearing Board recommended he be suspended.
