Md. Judge Admits Deflating Tire Over Parking Spot

A judge in Charles County, Md., has acknowledged deflating a tire of a car parked in a restricted area near the courthouse, but he isn't apologizing.
Circuit Court Judge Robert C. Nalley tells WUSA, a local TV station, that he let out the air because leaving notes for illegal parkers is not effective.
The chief administrative judge for Maryland's 7th Circuit, which includes Charles, says Nalley acknowledged his actions to him. Judge William D. Missouri suggested to The Washington Post that Nalley might be sanctioned for the action he took Monday.
Police in La Plata, Md., say they are investigating the incident.
The owner of the car, Jean Washington, works part time at the courthouse as part of a cleaning crew. She says she didn't know she couldn't park in the area and never received any warnings.
