The Board of Judicial Conduct has issued an order of suspension for Roane County General Sessions Judge Dennis W. Humphrey. The suspension stems from an October 2021 incident in which Humphrey received citations for having an open container of alcohol in his vehicle and for failing to use due care and a February 2022 incident in which he was charged and pleaded guilty to a DUI. Humphrey will be suspended for 30 days effective July 1. He will also be monitored by and adhere to the recommendations of the Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program for a period of five years consistent with his Substance Use Disorder Recovery Monitoring Agreement. Read the order from the Administrative Office of the Courts.
