Body-cam footage shows nervous officers in DeSoto County Judge Karen Sanders DUI arrest
By: -----
DeSoto County. MS - Body camera footage has been released in the DUI arrest of a DeSoto County judge, who was booked into jail and released just 33 minutes later.
Throughout the 12-minute video, it's clear that the officers knew who they'd pulled over, and appeared to be nervous about it.
The footage is from the police officer who first reported seeing Judge Karen Sanders drive into the grass after pulling out of a driveway on West Valley Street.
And, at that point, one officer confirms to the other that it was the judge behind the wheel, and asking "Is it pointless to test her?"
At other points in the video, police seemed to nervously remind one another they had to act professionally.
They described Judge Sanders' eyes as "glassy." And showed how she put her car into reverse instead of park when she was pulled over.
Another officer steps in to perform a breathalyzer test and shakes his head after it's finished.
