Judge Matthew A. P. Thornhill, a longtime St. Charles County judge and devoted Elvis Presley fan, has been dismissed after a disciplinary commission found he repeatedly incorporated Elvis references into court proceedings. The investigation revealed that Thornhill often wore an Elvis-style wig during hearings, played Presley songs while administering oaths, and quoted lyrics or mentioned the singer's personal details, regardless of the case's relevance. The commission recommended his suspension, leading to his removal after two decades on the bench.
