PASCAGOULA, Miss. —
A former federal judge who was impeached by Congress and removed from office in November has been arrested along with a state wildlife officer on hunting violations, officials said Thursday.
Former U.S. District Judge Walter L. Nixon Jr. was released on $100 signature bond after being booked at the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department, according to Capt. Mike Diamond.
Nixon, of Ocean Springs, was charged with hunting game birds by using bait, which is a misdemeanor, Diamond said.
