The Board of Judicial Conduct has suspended Madison County Judge Hugh Harvey for 30 days. Harvey was arrested in August for driving under the influence and being in possession of a firearm. According to the board's order, Harvey self-reported his arrest and, acting on advice from the Tennessee Lawyers Assistance Program (TLAP), completed 60 days of in-patient treatment for alcoholism. He pled guilty to the DUI last month and the charge of possessing a handgun was dismissed. An investigative panel of the board concluded that Harvey will be suspended from Dec. 22 until Jan. 20, 2023, and must be monitored by TLAP for five years. The Administrative Office of the Courts has more.
