St. Joseph County Probate Court Magistrate suddenly resigns

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. --  St. Joseph County Probate Court Magistrate Suddenly Resigns. Ashley Colborn served as the "child in need of services magistrate" since January 2019. In a letter dated yesterday and shared with ABC57 today, Colburn cites treatment from Probate Court Judge Loris Zappia as the reason for her resignation.

Colborn saying in part quote: "The manner in which i was treated today by yourself was highly inappropriate and lacked professionalism. It lacked the patience, dignity, and courtesy that is required of judicial officers in our service to the public." 

No comment today from the judge or the probate court.
