Bodycam footage shows an Arizona judge failing sobriety tests after being pulled over when a bystander reported her stumbling in a “Safeway” gas station before getting into her car. The video shows Yavapai County Superior Court Judge Cele Hancock initially denying being drunk before confessing to drinking a “couple of glasses of wine” before driving on March 19. Hancock reiterated she is just a normal person after informing officers of her judge status and stating she “f**ked up.” The judge pleaded guilty to a DUI misdemeanor and was sentenced to one day behind bars. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down the wine-fueled incident.

Lady is a tall glass of vodka sheesh
Roughly her ninth rehab program to be exact.
And I'm a local judge here. I don't wanna use that I really don't. I really don't. I really don't. Just throwing it out there.I really dont
It's nice that she had a crooked cop there. Trying to give her every break that she could possibly get.
Ask why?
Her husband left her why her kids would have nothing to do with her. She's been an alcoholic for years and years and years.
Silly handcock was a disgrace before she ever made it to the bench before. Her father swore her in. She had already been to AA and all kinds of other rehabs. Many times her head was too big for her and she went in and violated people's constitutional rights on a daily basis would show up and sit on the bench under the influence. That's Yavapai county and Yavapai county sheriff's department for you. That's the Justice you will get in Yavapai county.
Cele Hancock is a lier and a habitual alcoholic with a far reaching reputation for being under the influence in public as well as sitting on the bench, she is a known hatter of men and has put men in jail as well as in prison because she was never kept under any control or under any supervision even after numerous complaints of her actions in court. She has continuously violated anyone's constitutional right with no regard to the law and if she judged over your DUI case, especially if you are a male you definitely were pur away, when it came to her DUI she was given a thousand dollar fine and time served, Thats Yavapai County, as crooked as the day is long, just like the sheriff's dept there.
Jail jail jail jail jail jail jail jail jail jail 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This happens in all walks of life. She needs help
How embarrassing for her as a judge to get drunk knowing it's illegal. She should retire!
I love how the get mad at the cops it reminds me of when i cath my 7 year old doing something wrong 😂
She's older, that test is unfair.
I've been before this judge I live in Prescott Arizona. What you should look into it is all mishandling of court cases. They've investigated her everything got swept into the rug. Her daddy was a judge too.
A judge should know more than anyone else to drink and drive
Any other normal person would have got cited with a much bigger fine and more jail time. Possibly also losing your license or having a breathalyzer inside your car.
That’s a DUDE…no way that’s a female!
Let’s face it – most politicians and people in the Justice department are hypocrites.
Seizure Disorder is the latest excuse for drunks
First offense dui in Arizona is 24 hrs in jail, at least 10kk, etc. Laws should be even tougher than that
I just moved 25 miles from Prescott, Az. Love it here! So glad to get out of Phoenix🤘🏼
Even the sun has spots
Sober as a judge
Clown shoes fit her well
Everyone makes mistakes. But DUI mistakes are usually in the hundreds before they are caught
PRESKITT!
actually, normal people don't drink & drive
Do we really need more judges with seizure disorders that drink and drive too?
I’m sure she has done this before and other scumbag things scumbags does.
Just like everyone else trying to poor me to the cops. Crying as if the officer would give her a pass. She yells at people every day for doing what she has done. Change this offense to a felony! These drunks are putting innocent peoples lives at risk. Unbelievable!
As a funny aside, I see both officers mentoring the shorter officer and based on what I have observed thus far, I don't think he is going to make it.
These people drink and drive more then us.
I don’t think she was very sweet
How many?
People has she put in jail for the same thing. Locker up and throw away the key.
I cannot believe how many times different officers tried to give her an excuse….!!
If she tried using her judge status on me, I would’ve said “Then you should know better!”
That is a tall woman
She said she was a judge bc she wanted them to understand how serious a DUI is for her not bc she expected it o get out of the charge, it’s a bit ironic that citizens want her to be held to a higher standard and feel her punishment should be harsher than eveyone else’s but on the flip side feel she shouldn’t get preferential treatment, well you can’t get it both ways, if you want her to be treated the same then it should be the same not harsher.
