Guerrero was convicted of a misdemeanor for driving under the influence last year.
Guerrero also faced a second complaint listing misconduct relating to the DUI and misuse of government resources and acceptance of payment for wedding ceremonies performed during court hours.
Guerrero agreed to resign his position as a justice of the peace.
He will also not serve as a judicial officer in any capacity in the state of Arizona.
