The bottle let Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Donna Mills down twice yesterday - as a state panel censured her for drinking and driving and her boyfriend was labeled an irrational drunk by his own lawyer.
The Rev. Lawrence Craig was arraigned yesterday on charges that he barged into a Bronx apartment over the weekend and tried to snatch a 4-year-old boy. But his lawyer argued Craig was "obviously drunk or high."
"He appeared to be drunk and didn't know what he was doing," attorney Steven Young said in Bronx Criminal Court, where Craig stood quietly with a clerical collar around his neck and his hands behind his back. ...
His attorney claimed yesterday that Craig went to the home because he needed help and was drawn to the cross on the door.
The $2,500 bail outraged the Bronx boy's father, especially since Craig has a prior sexual assault conviction for fondling a Wisconsin girl in 2000.
"All his cases, he's been fined and gotten off," said Richard Lewis, 38. "I don't think he was here just by accident. There were kids running around here all day. I really think this guy's a sexual predator."
