A former Bedford town justice continues to face fallout for a drunk driving incident. Attorney Erik Jacobsen was a town justice when he was arrested in 2019. County police had to use a taser to get him out of his car and handcuff him. He was removed as justice shortly after the arrest. Jacobsen pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge in 2020. His driver's license was revoked for six months, and he had to maintain an ignition interlock device on his vehicles for one year. Jacobsen has now been publicly censured for his conduct. An appellate court upheld the recommendation, saying Jacobsen endangered the lives of the public by drinking and driving.
