(Boone, IA) -- A judge in charge of the state's largest judicial district has pleaded guilty to drunk driving.

The Boone County Sheriff says Adria Kester was arrested in November after several calls were made to 9-11.

Callers reported a vehicle driving the wrong way on Highway 30 near Boone. Court documents say Kester appeared slumped over the wheel and slowly drifting into the median.

She will serve one year probation and complete a substance abuse evaluation.

The 55-year-old is the Chief Judge of Iowa's Second Judicial District.
