A Long Island judge who pleaded guilty in a drunk driving incident — and who was accused of using his position to try to avoid consequences — has resigned, officials announced Monday.

William Rebolini, who served as a Suffolk County judge for 27 years, in January pleaded guilty to one count of driving while ability impaired by alcohol for the Sept. 28, 2018, incident. He was sentenced to community service and a $500 fine.

The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct brought charges against Rebolini for operating his motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and for allegedly using his judgeship to avoid consequences.

Rebolini, who served as a Supreme Court justice since 2004 and a district judge for 10 years before that, as part of an agreement with the commission will resign on May 28 and will not seek to sit on the bench again. In exchange, the commission has dropped the case against him.

“Judges are obliged to respect and comply with the law,” Commission Administrator Robert Tembeckjian said in a statement. “Driving under the influence of alcohol is a serious violation of law that threatens the safety and lives of pedestrians, passengers and other motorists, as well as the offending driver.

“It is made worse when a judge asserts the prestige of judicial office to evade the consequences of having been caught.”

Rebolini’s lawyer David Besso told The Post, “The judge wanted to leave the bench and didn’t want to go through with the formal proceedings and decided to resign.”

“Because this complaint was pending he had to resolve that before he left the bench. There is no admission on his part to the allegation in the complaint,” Besso added while acknowledging that his client pleaded guilty in the criminal case.

In his resignation letter from March 12, Rebolini did not mention his arrest or conviction but said he was retiring and looking forward “to a new chapter in my life with new opportunities and new beginnings.”

“In resigning I hope to be judged by my record of 32 years of public service and hope that with the help of so many people, I have been able to make our community a better place,” Rebolini wrote in the letter.
