EDMONTON — An Alberta provincial court judge has been charged with impaired driving.

Paul Sully serves in Edmonton as a part-time judge.

Alberta Justice officials will not release details of the arrest or the specific allegations.

Greg Lepp, head of the department’s prosecution service, says a prosecutor from the Saskatchewan Crown will handle the case.

Sully was named a provincial court judge in 1998 and was reappointed this March as a part-time judge, for a term that expires in April 2016.

It’s not immediately clear whether Sully will have to step down while the case is being handled.
