Known as an avid party-goer, Judge Haggerty was arrested on December 16, 1969, by the vice squad of theNew Orleans Police Department which raided a “stag party” at the Deville Motor Hotel. Haggerty beat the [[obscenity]] charges on a technicality: the case was thrown out by Judge Matthew Braniff, who declared that key evidence was inadmissible. However, a State Judiciary Commission recommended Haggerty's removal from the bench, and he was stripped of his judgeship on a six-to-one vote of the Louisiana Supreme Court. He left the court in November 1970.<ref name=lahist/>
