SOUTH BEND, Ind. — South Bend Police arrested a well known area lawyer, Notre Dame professor and former South Bend School Board Member for drunk driving early Thursday morning. According to arrest records, police booked 51-year-old Rodolfo “Rudy” Monterrosa into the St. Joseph County Jail at 2:18am for OWI, OWI Endangering a Person and OWI with a BAC of .15 or more. REAL News Michiana has requested the arrest report, however, due to the holiday it will not be available until at least next week.
This is the 10th time Rodolfo Monterrosa has been cited for breaking traffic laws since 2010. However, every single citation he has received was eventually dropped. It’s unclear how Rodolfo Monterrosa was able to get all of his traffic citations dismissed. That being said, according to Rodolfo Monterrosa’s bio on the Notre Dame website, he currently serves as the Supervising Attorney for the St. Joseph County Traffic & Misdemeanor deputy public defenders.
Rodolfo Monterrosa is a founding member of Monterrosa Law Group. He is also currently an elected member of the German Township Advisory Board (Democrat), former School Board Member for the South Bend Community School Corporation and current board member of the non-profit La Casa de Amistad.
Rodolfo Monterrosa is married to another attorney in his firm, Cecilia Monterrosa. Earlier this year, Cecilia Monterrosa was reprimanded by the Indiana Supreme Court Disciplinary Commission for violating Indiana’s Professional Conduct Rules.
