    I was driving home on Yelm hwy and seen a vehicle over a bank with the lights on and the driver trying to get his rig unstuck. I went down the bank and observed a man coming out of the drivers side of a 2000 GMC Yukon and was stumbling around. I recognized him as John Lyman former judge of Tumwater. He also confirmed who he was. I helped him up the bank as I was on the phone with 911. Mr. Lyman was not injured by the accident be he did stagger a lot and had trouble talking and walking. It was easy to tell he had been drinking. There appeared to be several hundred dollars in damage to a chain link fence and a drainage system.
    Lacey Fire Department and Thurston County Sheriff arrived on the scene and examined Mr. Lyman.
    I could not find any record of Mr. Lyman in any local jails but I was called later by TCSO asking questions about the accident.
    Mr. Lyman is still on probation for DUI and two counts of hit and run.
