Steve Lungen (born circa 1946[1]) is a former Republican District Attorney of Sullivan County, New York. In February 2009, Lungen announced that he was retiring after 28 years as District Attorney.[1] In 1989, Lungen ran for re-election against now-Judge Frank Labuda.[1] At that time, his office had the highest conviction rate and the lowest plea-bargain rate in upstate New York.[2] In 2003, Lungen co-founded the Sullivan County Drug Treatment Court,[3] where people arrested for drug related offenses get treatment and probation instead of jail sentences.[4] In Sullivan County, defendants charged with a drug-selling offense were ineligible for drug court.[4] Two exceptions were made for 17-year-olds with drug addictions.[4] When announcing his retirement, Lungen did not foreclose working in the public arena, saying that he loves work and may seek a judgeship or enter private practice.[1] At the same time, he said he was endorsing then Assistant District Attorney, Jim Farrell, to take over his position.[1] Lungen was reputed to be an aggressive district attorney.[2] Police officers would attempt to apprehend suspects over the Sullivan County border so that they be prosecuted by Lungen.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 4 {{Citation | last = Bosch | first = Adam | title = Lungen Retires, Backs Farrell | newspaper = Times Herald-Record | date = 02/12/09 | url = http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20090212/NEWS/902120334 | accessdate =12/01/09}} 2. ^1 2 {{Citation | last = Levine | first = Mike | title = Issues, Shmissues: Politics is a Sales Game | newspaper = Times Herald-Record | date = 09/01/89 | url =http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070114/NEWS/70114199/-1/NEWS271989 | accessdate =12/12/09}} 3. ^{{Citation | last = Whitman | first = Victor | title = Broken souls made whole; Drug court gives addicts second chance | newspaper = Times Herald-Record | date = 12/02/2009 | url = http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091202/COMM/912020334/-1/news | accessdate =2009-12-12}} 4. ^1 2 {{Citation | last = Mackson | first = Oliver | title = One problem, two views; Drug court has become part of the solution to drug crime | newspaper = Times Herald-Record | date = 2006-03-19 | url = http://archive.recordonline.com/archive/2006/03/19/news-omdrugcourt-03-26.html | accessdate =2009-12-12}} External links
