Crime Watch Minneapolis first reported that Judge Worke was taken into custody in Steele County and released after about four hours in a holding facility. Authorities said the arrest was based on probable cause for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), but no formal charges had been filed as of Monday.<\/p>\n

Few details about the arrest were immediately available, and the Minnesota Judicial Branch did not respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

Worke, who has served on the state\u2019s Court of Appeals since 2005, was reportedly released pending further investigation.<\/p>\n

Worke is the latest in a growing number of state judges across the country arrested in recent months for suspected drunk driving, raising renewed questions about judicial conduct and accountability.<\/p>\n
