Douglas County Probate Judge Christina Peterson was arrested after allegedly pushing a police officer during an altercation outside an Atlanta nightclub.
Atlanta police have released bodycam footage showing the arrest of Douglas County Probate Judge Christina Peterson after she allegedly struck an officer outside a nightclub on Thursday. The Atlanta police officer was working an approved extra job at the Red Martini Restaurant and Lounge when he heard a commotion around 3:18 a.m. and went to investigate, the department said.
Arrington called on the lounge to release its surveillance footage, saying that based on eyewitnesses and video, Peterson should never have been arrested. Peterson has made headlines in the past after becoming a judge in 2020. A Judicial Qualifications Commission panel found Peterson guilty of 'systemic incompetence' in April and recommended that she be removed from office, FOX5 Atlanta reported.
Peterson’s fate as a judge rests with the Georgia Supreme Court, which will weigh in on the panel’s recommendation at an unspecified date.
