Arizona Judge Resigns After Police Catch Her in Embarrassing Courthouse Act [WATCH]

An Arizona Superior Court judge has stepped down from the bench following an incident in which she was reportedly caught urinating in public near the courthouse where she served.

According to Prescott police, officers responded around 1:30 a.m. on October 4 after witnesses reported a woman relieving herself near Montezuma and Gurley Street, just steps from the Courthouse Plaza in downtown Prescott.

The area is home to the Yavapai County Superior Court, where Judge Pro Tempore Kristyne Schaaf-Olson worked.

Bodycam footage obtained by Fox News Digital shows Schaaf-Olson pulling up her pants before sitting on a bench as a police officer approaches.

“This is disgusting,” the responding officer says in the recording.

The video captures the officer attempting to identify Schaaf-Olson as she struggles to spell her name.

Moments later, Schaaf-Olson’s husband, Jason Olson, arrives at the scene. Olson serves as the parks and recreation manager for the Town of Chino Valley, according to FOX 10 Phoenix.

This Could Be the Most Important Video Gun Owners Watch All Year

Video shows him trying to lead his wife away from the officers, refusing multiple commands to step back.

When the officer explains that Schaaf-Olson was being questioned “because I just saw her puking and urinating, exposing herself to several people,” Jason Olson disputes the account, saying, “Nope. That wasn’t her.”

As the situation escalated, officers restrained Jason Olson after he continued to resist commands. “Get your a– on the f**king ground, dude,” an officer says in the footage.

Olson responds, “I’m not doing anything!”

Additional officers arrived to assist, and he was taken into custody.

During the struggle, an officer can be heard radioing, “515, we’re fighting.”

Schaaf-Olson was cited for urinating or defecating in public, a misdemeanor offense under city law. In the footage, she identifies herself by saying, “That’s fine. I want to let you know, my name is Judge Kristyne Olson.”

Officers then attempt to have her sign the citation, with one saying, “Nope, right here on the screen. On the screen,” as she struggles to complete the electronic signature.

Jason Olson was also cited for resisting arrest, interfering with a crime scene investigation, and obstruction of government operations, according to police and local media reports.

A few days later, the Yavapai County Superior Court announced that Schaaf-Olson had resigned her position, effective October 31.

In a written statement dated October 6, she said, “My resignation comes after careful consideration of current physical, medical and family circumstances.”

She continued, “The Yavapai community deserves and has judges who are steadfast in their commitment to serving Yavapai County.

Considering current events in my life, I believe it would be difficult to honor this commitment. I have therefore decided to resign.”

Court officials confirmed that Schaaf-Olson’s resignation was accepted and that her duties would be reassigned.

Both Schaaf-Olson and her husband are scheduled to appear in court later this year. Schaaf-Olson’s pre-trial conference is set for December 16, and Jason Olson’s is scheduled for November 18, according to FOX 10 Phoenix.
