The Guadalupe County judge arrested in College Station for marijuana possession was supposed to talk to the media today.

This is 58 year old Michael Wiggins.

He’s been the Guadalupe County judge since 2007.

Most recently though, he was arrested while attending a county judge and commissioners conference at the College Station Hilton Hotel for possession of marijuana.

Judge Wiggins released a statement saying;

“At this time, I am working to resolve the issues in Brazos County. Upon completion, I will provide a full public disclosure of the events that have transpired.”

CSPD reps say, a bellman told hotel security about smelling pot on the fifth floor.

A police officer knocked on Wiggins’ door and asked if there was weed in the room.

Wiggins allegedly pointed to a duffel bag where the officer found rolling papers, a grinder and less than two ounces of marijuana.

Police say Wiggins admitted it was his.

He was arrested and released on a $3,000 bond.

Wiggins is a retired trooper and DPS sergeant, where he would have had to submit to random drug testing and yearly evaluations.

Reps with the Guadalupe County Commissioners Office say all employees are drug tested before they begin working.

In Brazos County, no one, is “high” above the law.

According to Guadalupe County, the only employees subjected to random drug testing, once hired, are those working for the Department of Transportation.
