"The challenges each day—it's something different every day, and I'm going to miss that challenge. I'm going to miss the employees, and we had great relationships. And also law enforcement, defense attorneys, prosecutors. Hey, that's what life's all about. Relationships," stated Judge Richard Warren, chief magistrate for Lima Municipal Court.
Warren plans to use his new free time to travel with his wife.
