A Brunswick judge has resigned after he was charged this month with drunken driving outside Wacko’s Gentlemen’s Club in Jacksonville.

In his resignation letter, Georgia Superior Court Judge Robert W. Guy said it had been an honor to serve. “I will be forever grateful to my Judicial friends in this Circuit and across the state,” the letter states.

Guy, 48, based out of Camden County, also was charged with refusing to take a DUI test after his Mercedes-Benz hit a parked truck about 2 a.m. Oct. 7 outside the Southside club on Emerson Street, police say.

On Jan. 12, the original DUI charge was reduced to reckless driving, and Guy pleaded “nolo contendere,” meaning he accepted punishment without admitting guilt, according to court records.

Guy was sentenced to one day in the county jail with credit for one day already served. He also was ordered to complete a traffic school, which he did.

Guy presided over cases in Wayne, Camden, Glynn, Appling and Jeff Davis counties, according to the Wayne County clerk of court.
