Beleaguered Rochester City Court Judge Leticia Astacio has been summoned to court again for allegedly violating the sentence of her drunken driving conviction.

Her lawyer, Ed Fiandach, said she is to appear in court on Tuesday at noon to address the status of a urine test that the judge overseeing her case had asked her to take weeks ago after the ignition interlock device in her car recorded alcohol on her breath.

Fiandach said the device registered a blood-alcohol-content reading of .0651. That level is below the legal limit for a drunken driving charge but would constitute a violation of a condition of Astacio’s sentence that requires her to abstain from consuming alcohol.

Fiandach said Astacio denied consuming alcohol and that she told him her daughter registered the reading. It is not illegal for another person to drive a car outfitted with an interlock device meant for someone else.

After the reading, which Fiandach said was registered near the beginning of the month, Judge Stephen Aronson asked that Astacio take a urine test and submit the results to the court.

As of Friday, the results had not been submitted. Fiandach said he believes Astacio to be currently vacationing in Thailand and that he is unaware of whether she took the test.

“I sincerely hope she has,” Fiandach said, “and I sincerely hope the results will demonstrate that she has not consumed alcohol.”

The test in question is known as an ETG test, which detects ethyl glucuronide, a byproduct of alcohol. Traces of ethyl glucuronide is said to remain in the body for up to 96 hours after consuming alcohol.

Astacio was convicted of drunken driving in August 2016 and sentenced to what is known as a one-year conditional discharge. The sentence meant she was largely free to go about her life for the next year provided she met certain conditions.

But her sentence was extended to February 2018 after she pleaded guilty to violating two of her conditions – abstaining from alcohol and not driving under the influence.

Astacio was last in court in March, when she beat four allegations that she violated the conditions of her sentence.

One alleged that she twice drank alcohol, and three others were related to the use of her interlock device.

Aronson ruled that there was a lack of evidence that she had been drinking on the occasions in question, and that the interlock device monitoring had been improperly transferred to Ontario County, nullifying those allegations.

Her prosecution has been handled by the Ontario County District Attorney’s Office and an Ontario County judge in Aronson to avoid any potential conflict of interest with her status as a judge.

Astacio has been stripped of all her judicial duties and barred from non-public areas of the courthouse. But she retains the title of an elected judge and continues to be paid like one.

She collects an annual salary of $173,700.

The state Commission on Judicial Conduct is the only body in the state with the authority to rescind her title. The commission is investigating her case, but has yet to come to a decision.
