Peachtree Street in Atlanta
Details from a police report indicate that an off-duty Atlanta police officer, attempting to assist a distressed woman, was violently struck on the head by Judge Peterson.
The incident raises serious questions about the judge’s conduct and the deteriorating respect for law enforcement among our so-called public servants.
The connection between Peterson and the crying woman remains unclear, adding a creepy element to this alarming incident.
Peterson did not identify herself and appeared to be under the influence, according to the arrest report.
Channel 2 Action News called Peterson’s office and was told that she was not in for work on Thursday.
As of Thursday afternoon, Petersen had been released from jail.
