Authorities say an Upper Peninsula judge has been arrested for suspected drunken driving after police clocked him speeding more than 100 miles an hour.
The Mining Journal of Marquette reports Charles Nebel was arrested Friday evening in Schoolcraft County.
The county prosecutor's office says Nebel's blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit of 0.08 percent. He was arrested and lodged overnight in the county jail.
Schoolcraft County Prosecuting Attorney Peter Hollenbeck says the case has been turned over to Attorney General Mike Cox for a decision on any charges.
Nebel said in a statement he "made a series of bad and inappropriate decisions" and is prepared to face the consequences.
Nebel is a probate judge for Schoolcraft and Alger counties.
