Conroe Judge Charged With DWI After Refusing Tests During Stop

New court records cite prior DUI discipline ahead of a Jan. 5 arraignment.

Overview

  • Police stopped William Waggoner on Dec. 10 after clocking 61 mph in a 35 mph zone and observing lane drifting, noting an empty beer can and signs of impairment in the arrest affidavit.
  • Waggoner denied drinking, told officers to be aware he is a judge, and refused field sobriety along with breath, blood, and urine tests.
  • Investigators secured a judge-signed blood search warrant that authorized a forcible blood draw, with test results not included in the released documents.
  • He also faces an unlawful carrying of a weapon charge, reflecting Texas law that prohibits carrying a handgun while intoxicated.
  • New filings describe prior DUI-related military discipline and earlier arrests; he has hired attorney Nicole Czajkoski, has an arraignment set for Jan. 5, and remains a municipal judge running for Justice of the Peace.
