Woman with Macomb circuit judge, his kids, in car charged with OWI

A report of suspected child abuse, neglect or endangerment has been filed with a state agency after a woman was charged with driving drunk with a Macomb County judge and his two children in her car, police said.

Judge Richard Caretti has not been charged in the Saturday night incident, but his companion, Brenda Conway, 50, of Troy, was arraigned Tuesday in 46th District Court in Southfield on one count of operating while intoxicated with occupants under age 16, said Detective Lt. William Castro of the Franklin-Bingham Farms Police Department.

Conway's next court date is Jan. 28.

The suspected neglect report was filed with the state Department of Human Services, and child protective services workers interviewed Caretti's children, ages 15 and 12, Castro said.

Caretti was a passenger in the 2011 Volkswagen SUV that Brenda Conway was driving from a wedding reception in Macomb County on Saturday night to drop off his daughters at their mother's Franklin home, said Lori Conway, his ex-wife.
