Judge who oversaw handcuffing of sleepy teen on field trip now hearing these cases
Briefly

"Judge Kenneth King, having returned to the bench, now oversees traffic cases rather than serious criminal proceedings due to alleged misconduct involving a sleeping teenager during a courtroom field trip."
"The lawsuit filed against Judge King details an incident where the judge publicly ridiculed a 15-year-old girl for falling asleep and subsequently handcuffed her in a mock trial."
"The 15-year-old, who had a rough night prior to the field trip, was subjected to detention, handcuffs, and a humiliating courtroom experience based on standard behavior expected throughout the lesson."
"King, after completing social-emotional training, is now working in a less contentious division as questions about his approach to minor misconduct remain unresolved."
