A candidate for an Arkansas circuit judge post should remain on the ballot despite a misdemeanor traffic offense, the state Supreme Court said Thursday in reversing a lower court decision that he was ineligible.

In a 6-1 ruling, justices reversed a Pulaski County judge’s decision barring Adam Weeks from running for the 3rd Judicial District seat.

Weeks is a district judge from Lawrence County. His local judgeship, which he was elected to in 2014, is not covered by the provision that was used to disqualify him from the circuit court seat election.

The 3rd Judicial District covers Jackson, Lawrence, Randolph and Sharp counties in northeastern Arkansas. Three candidates are also in the running for the judgeship: Joe Grider, of Pocahontas, Timothy T. Watson Sr., of Newport and Hollie Wilson of Ash Flat
