The Barnesville City Council voted Monday evening to suspend without pay a city court judge accused of providing alcohol to two 16-year-old girls.

Judge Aurelio Enrique Abreu was arrested after visiting the girls while they were alone together in a private room Friday, according to a statement from the Lamar County Sheriff's Office.

The statement said the 51-year-old Abreu was charged with driving under the influence, violation of oath by a public officer, furnishing alcohol for underage consumption, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and permitting an unlicensed person to drive, after he allegedly let the girls drive his car in a prior incident.

The sheriff's office said Abreu was arrested by SWAT team members, who hid in the house during a covert operation following a tip.
