Weeks after a Douglas County probate judge was arrested during an incident with an Atlanta police officer, APD is releasing another nine hours of body camera and dash camera footage.
Douglas County Judge Christina Peterson was charged with simple battery victim against a police officer at the Red Martini Restaurant and Lounge on Peachtree Street on June 20.
After her arrest, police initially released nearly two hours of footage . Early Thursday morning, they released what they say is the entire footage of Peterson being arrested and being taken to jail, as well as the front and rear dash cameras from that time.
One of the videos shows Peterson being escorted from the restaurant and placed in the patrol car.
“Are you serious? He pushed that lady!” she can be heard shouting.
Witnesses claimed that Peterson was trying to break up a fight between a man and a woman, and when police got involved, she accidentally hit an off-duty officer. The officer said the judge shoved him in the chest.
One video shows hours of Peterson sleeping in the backseat of the patrol car she was placed in.
