A Missouri judge who wore an Elvis Presley wig in his courtroom and played the singer’s music from his phone during court proceedings has agreed to a deal that would cut his career on the bench short. Suburban St. Louis Judge Matthew Thornhill faces a six-month unpaid suspension under the deal he reached with a state board to avoid a disciplinary hearing. After the suspension, he’ll serve 18 more months on the bench before resigning from the St. Charles County Circuit Court, per the AP. The agreement, reached last month, is pending before the Missouri Supreme Court, a spokeswoman said Friday.
The court agreed Thursday to accept 35 letters in support of Thornhill’s character.
