Richard Johnson May Never Get His Day In Court
The People just aren't ready to try his case

Richard Johnson

"What," you might be wondering, "ever happened to Page Six editor Richard Johnson and his drunk driving incident?" Richard, as you'll recall, was arrested just over a year ago as he attempted to drive off from Soho House in his 2005 Ford Escape.

At the time, he refused a request to take a blood alcohol test (he only had one glass of wine, he told the officer) and was summarily charged with two misdemeanors.

Now, more than 12 months later, where do things stand?

For Richard, it's going pretty well.

As these court records show, the People of New York (that'd be the prosecutors) haven't been ready to try the case in at least four instances, with four court adjournments letting him off the hook, plus a continuance at his first appearance (pretty standard for this type of thing). The most recently court date, June 13, let Richard off the hook because – you guessed it – the prosecution once again wasn't ready to push ahead.

The next court date is Monday, August 6, which will be the perfect opportunity to turn a typically slow month into a typically slow month involving yet another postponed court date.
