Judge cited for alleged obscene gesture

EL PASO, Texas -- A state district judge is accused of shaking his middle finger at another judge in a fit of anger. Judge Patrick Garcia is scheduled for trial in April. A county court judge filed a complaint after he said Garcia gave him the finger in November outside the county courthouse. Garcia was angry because he believed the lower-court judge had undermined a plea agreement being arranged in Garcia's court. The other judge said in his complaint he found the incident "humiliating."
