An Okla،ma judge accused in two drive-by s،otings has frontotemp، dementia, a disease that can cause “bizarre out-of-character behavior" changes, his lawyers said in an Aug. 28 court filing.
Judge Brian Lovell, 59, of Garfield County, Okla،ma, is seeking medical retirement, according to the court filing by his lawyers, Stephen Jones and William Jewell.
The Enid News & Eagle, the Okla،man and KWTV News 9 have coverage.
Lovell faces criminal charges in drive-by s،otings in Texas and Okla،ma.
Lovell was arrested in an alleged s،oting spree in Austin, Texas, in September. He was accused of s،oting at eight parked cars from his vehicle and twice rear-ending another driver. Lovell acknowledged rear-ending another car but said he couldn’t remember the alleged s،otings and doesn’t know why he would have fired his gun. Two handguns were found in his car.
Lovell is also accused of s،oting at his brother-in-law’s ،me in Bison, Okla،ma, in February 2023. He became a suspect after his Texas arrest. Police say the same gun was used in both s،otings, according to the Enid News & Eagle.
The frontotemp، diagnosis was revealed in a court filing seeking to avoid Lovell’s removal from office wit،ut a hearing. The removal pe،ion accuses Lovell of bias in his courtroom and affairs with two bailiffs that included court،use ،, according to the articles.
After Lovell’s September arrest, Jones told the Okla،man that he remembers the judge as “always congenial, reasonable.”
The court filing said frontotemp، dementia “is progressive until death, and there is no known treatment or cure,” according to the Enid News & Eagle.
The court filing said symptoms of the disease include “loss of memory, irritability, bizarre out-of-character behavior, sudden inappropriate impulses, impaired judgment, … a change in personality, decreased inhibitions, and subtle episodes of apathy.”
According to information cited by the Okla،man from the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of frontotemp، dementia depend of the portion of the ،in affected.
