## Summary

Bronx Supreme Court Judge Erik Gray was arrested after police stopped him in the Bronx shortly after midnight on Friday. Police suspect he drove while impaired by drugs and say he refused a breath test; the allegations matter because they involve a sitting judge and could affect his driving licence.

Gray, 58, was stopped at 189th Street and Webster Avenue in Fordham at 12.35am. A police source said suspected drug impairment can involve prescription medication, and state law makes refusal of a breath test grounds for immediate automatic licence suspension. Gray’s term runs until 31 December 2029; court officials and Gray did not respond to requests for comment.
