Aaron Judge's Girlfriend Cited for 'Extreme DUI' in Arizona
By Michael Luciano
New York Yankees superstar Aaron Judge already has a lot on his plate, as he's recovering from a rib injury amid a global pandemic. Now, unfortunately, his personal life just got a bit murkier.
Samantha Bracksieck, Judge's girlfriend, was arrested in Arizona for an extreme DUI, meaning her BAC was anywhere between .15 and .19.
Bracksieck, 26, was reportedly stopped after driving her Honda HR-V 10 miles per hour above the speed limit without her headlights on. The police report states that there was a strong odor of alcohol emanating from her car.
Bracksieck claimed she was driving home from a steakhouse after drinking two glasses of wine, but show couldn't name the streets she lived near despite having lived in Arizona since July.
In addition to the DUI, Bracksieck was cited for a headlight violation and changing lanes in an unsafe manner. Bracksieck faces potential jail time and fines if convicted, although she did plead not guilty.
This is still a pending legal matter, but if these charges are true, this could be a very bad look for Bracksieck and Judge.
