An Oklahoma judge accused of two drive-by shootings in two states is now facing removal for alleged corruption on the bench — as well as a series of sexual misadventures inside his courthouse with court staff.

In September 2023, Garfield County Associate District Judge Brian Lovell, 58, was indicted in Travis County, Texas, for allegedly using his 40-caliber Glock to shoot six parked cars at an intersection near locally famous Tex Mex eatery Juan in a Million. After that, according to Lone Star State law enforcement, the judge drove away and used his SUV to try and force a woman’s car into oncoming traffic — leaving the road rage scene in a huff by firing three final shots into the air.

In May of this year, Lovell was indicted again — this time by the Sooner State. The modus operandi and the gun used was the same, authorities said. The judge allegedly showed up at his brother-in-law’s house and fired several rounds into the home with the pistol. This incident occurred in February 2023, according to Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond. Lovell allegedly reported his gun stolen two days later — but held onto it until the Texas incident, at least.

A removal petition filed by an Oklahoma Supreme Court justice last week makes clear that none of “the alleged criminal activities” have anything to do with the effort to remove Lovell from the bench — to avoid jeopardizing either investigation.
