(Winchester, IN)--A Randolph County judge has been given until Wednesday by Governor Mike Braun to hand in his resignation.  That requirement for Randolph Superior Court Judge Dale Arnett comes after the Indiana Supreme Court finalized its ruling on Friday which permanently bars Arnett from judicial service after uncovering a long pattern of mismanagement and dereliction of judicial duties.  Arnett failed to take timely action on criminal cases, leading to some of those cases being dismissed.  27 defendants were kept in jail longer than the required period of time.  Arnett has served as a judge in Randolph County since 2021, but he has been on a leave of absence since April.
