According to an article in the Democrat and Chronicle written by Meaghan McDermott, Sweden Town Justice Carl Coapman resigned on January 18th. Sweden Supervisor, Patricia Connors is quoted as saying "His resignation was unexpected; he just decided he was done. He was a very good judge."
Coapman had been on the bench for 15 years having first been elected in 1997. There have been allegations that he has been intoxicated while performing his official duties which Sweden officials have been trying to keep hidden since first brought forward by Tom Mangan on Examiner.com last summer.
Connors said that the Sweden Town board hopes to appoint a lawyer to fill Coapman's post at its Town Board meeting on February 12, 2013. Connors' husband, Robert, is also a Sweden Judge.
