The council also found that he had violated ethics rules by changing the date of a neighbour’s court appearance for a traffic ticket so he could hear the case — and acquit her — before he retired.

To me that's the more important issue... It can be hard to measure time accurately, but there's no excuse for twisting the system to prevent your friend from facing justice!

I agree that's problematic, but from the article it doesn't sound like that's the reason he was arrested.
