HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Police have filed charges against a Pennsylvania judge who they said they found highly intoxicated, unclothed and wrapped in a bed sheet in a Cumberland County hotel.
Douglas Gummo, a magisterial district judge in Huntingdon County, is charged with harassment, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.
East Pennsboro Township police said they were called to the Radisson Penn Harris hotel in Camp Hill on April 1 after getting a call from another judge. Police said Gummo had met the other judge at a conference at the Radisson and he was trying to get into her room.
"She refused him admission to her room previously in the evening," a police news release states. "Gummo returned a short period later and beat on her door for approximately ten minutes and attempted to turn the door knob. He left and returned on two other occasions beating on the door attempting to gain access."
The release goes on to state that when Gummo tried to get in the room the third time, the judge inside, who has not been identified, called police.
