HOUSTON — A former state district judge in Houston must pay a $1,500 fine after pleading guilty to misdemeanor criminal mischief for keying his neighbor's car.
The Houston Chronicle reports that Woody Densen entered his plea Thursday. In return, prosecutors are dropping a felony criminal mischief charge returned by a Harris County grand jury in June.
Prosecutor Matthew Peneguy says Densen has made restitution for the damage he caused to neighbor Adam Kleibert's 2006 Range Rover. The May 2009 vandalism was captured on surveillance video.
The 70-year-old attorney was an elected state district judge in Harris County from 1983 until his 1994 defeat. He then served as a visiting judge throughout the state until 2007 when the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association filed a complaint against him with the State Commission on Judicial Conduct. The commission later dismissed the complaint.
