The Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission has filed an 85-page complaint against retired Houston County District Judge John Steensland that accuses him of cursing in court, ridiculing people who appeared before him, and placing a woman in jail even though she had no arrest warrant.
The commission filed the complaint with the Court of the Judiciary, which can discipline judges.
Steensland became a judge in 1996 and retired in May after the Judicial Inquiry Commission began investigating him.
