The Wisconsin Supreme Court has suspended a Winnebago County Circuit Court judge for violating rules of conduct.
Judge Scott Woldt’s discipline will begin on August 2nd.
The Wisconsin Judicial Commission informed the high court that Woldt violated the rules while presiding over six different cases in 2009, 2015, and 2016.
Woldt allegedly berated at least one woman in a domestic violence case, interrupted an attorney during cross-examination and used profanity in a child custody case, and displayed a handgun in court on at least two occasions.
The high court ruled Woldt committed “serious violations of a judge’s ethical duties.”
