The chief judge of the Oklahoma Supreme Court is recommending the immediate suspension and eventual removal of a state district judge who faces separate shooting charges in Oklahoma and Texas.

The chief judge of the Oklahoma Supreme Court is recommending the immediate suspension and eventual removal of a state judge who faces separate shooting charges in Oklahoma and Texas.

The petition alleges Lovell had sex with two bailiffs of another judge at the courthouse during office hours and exchanged sexually graphic texts and images with one of the bailiffs at the courthouse during office hours. It also alleges neglect of duty, corruption, favoritism to one attorney and improperly sealing a case assigned to another judge.

Lovell “has demonstrated a lack of respect for the judicial office with which he is entrusted, and an ongoing pattern of misconduct and dishonesty,” according to Kane’s petition. Jones said his and Lovell’s absence at a March hearing on the matter cited by Kane was due to Jones being hospitalized and that the council knew of his condition.
