A foul-mouthed Georgia probate judge allegedly pushed an Atlanta cop twice outside a nightclub and then refused to identify herself after she was arrested, according to police and bodycam footage.
Douglas County Judge Christina Peterson, 38, was cuffed and placed in the back of a cop cruiser early Thursday morning for battery against a police officer.
Cops said she interfered with a police officer trying to de-escalate a situation where a security guard working at Red Martini Restaurant and Lounge attempted to escort another woman outside, according to 11 Alive News.

“Let her f—cking go, let her f—cking go,” Peterson yelled at the guard and police officer, according to the footage released by Atlanta police and obtained by local outlets.


Police said the footage then showed Peterson, a Democrat, push the officer, who was working an approved extra job, in the chest twice and swipe at his hands during the commotion around 3 a.m., leading to her arrest.

​

The officer took Peterson to the ground and slapped handcuffs on her as a crowd formed around them, according to the clip.
The video, presented by Fox 5 Atlanta, later cuts to Peterson refusing to identify herself as the officer pleads for her name.
“You don’t need an identification,” she said angrily. “You have picked up dead bodies when you don’t know who bodies it was, but you picked them up. Take me where you need to take me.”

“I’m trying to,” the cop replied as the two continued to argue.
At one point, the judge suggested the officer Google her, to which the cop replied, “What’s your name so I can Google you.”
Other parts of the footage showed Peterson at the police station as she complained and cursed about the cop taking her by the arm while they walked, and then later in another police vehicle, when she was told the charges against her.

Peterson, who was allegedly under the influence during the interaction, per a police report obtained by Fox 5 Atlanta, is facing simple battery against a police officer and obstruction of a law enforcement officer charges.
But Peterson’s legal team in an emotional press conference following the arrest claimed she was just being a good Samaritan.
Her lawyer, Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr., said his client was trying to defend the woman who police said was being escorted out, identified as Alexandria Love, outside the nightclub because she was being “viciously” attacked by an unidentified man.

Arrington said he believes she will be “totally exonerated” in the case and called on all the footage of the incident to be released.
Love said during the press conference carried by Fox 5 Atlanta the unidentified man accused her of cutting him on a food truck line, sparking the disturbance.
“He viciously attacked me, punched me in my face and Judge Peterson was the only one to help me,” she said.
She also claimed Peterson did not know she was putting her hands on a police officer.
Peterson, who took office in 2020, was previously found guilty of “systemic incompetence” by a judicial panel in April, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

The Georgia Supreme Court removed a county probate judge who was recently arrested for allegedly shoving a cop in a profanity-laden scuffle outside an Atlanta nightclub.
Douglas County Probate Judge Christina Peterson was removed from office and banned from holding any judicial post in the state for seven years after Georgia’s highest court issued its opinion of disbarment on Tuesday.
But it wasn’t her highly publicized and caught-on-bodycam-footage arrest that led to her removal from the bar.
Peterson, 38, separately “exhibited a pattern of judicial misconduct while in office,” the Judicial Qualifications Commission found in a probe into her behavior.

The Georgia Supreme Court ordered the removal of Douglas County Probate Judge Christina Peterson from office Tuesday.


The embattled judge, who was elected and sworn into office in December 2020, was at one point facing a whopping 50 counts of alleged misconduct — the first of which was filed less than a year into her four-year term. Of those, 20 were dismissed, while a hearing panel investigated the other 30.

Foul-mouthed Georgia judge arrested after allegedly pushing Atlanta cop outside nightclub​

The panel found clear and convincing evidence to find Peterson guilty of 28 of the 30 counts and concluded that she should be removed from the bench, according to its March report.
The high court agreed and found that Peterson showed a “flagrant disregard for the law, court rules, and judicial conduct rules” — as well as a “pattern of violations” of judicial rules.
In one of the “extremely concerning” violations, Peterson held a woman who appealed to the judge to correct an error on her marriage certificate in criminal contempt. She then sentenced her to the maximum jail time of 20 days plus a fine “without explanation or justification,” the panel found.
She was also accused of letting unauthorized people enter the county courthouse after hours without proper screening and using deputies to work overtime on her behalf with taxpayer money, the court said.
Peterson’s inappropriate behavior extended outside the courthouse as well. She was accused of engaging in “hostile exchanges” with neighbors at her homeowners association meeting, while suing the association.

Her repeated behavior “did not demonstrate the decorum and temperament required of a judge,” the state supreme court said in its opinion.
The Georgia Supreme Court did not consider Peterson’s viral arrest Thursday in its determination as it was not part of the investigation. But the accusations against her only further damaged her reputation.
The judge allegedly pushed an off-duty Atlanta cop outside the Red Martini Restaurant and Lounge twice in the chest and was charged with simple battery against a police officer and obstruction of a law enforcement officer.
Peterson interfered with the officer as he was trying to de-escalate a situation involving a security guard escorting a woman out of the club, police said. She allegedly knocked the cop’s hands away from the woman during the 3 a.m. altercation, according to the department.
“Let her f–cking go, let her f–cking go,” Peterson yells at the guard and police officer, according to footage released by Atlanta police and obtained by local outlets.
The judge was quickly handcuffed and placed in the back of a police cruiser, where she shouted expletives and refused to give her name to the officer.

Peterson’s lawyer said she was trying to help the woman, who was reportedly attacked by a man outside the club, and that she did not mean to push the cop. Two witnesses, including the alleged victim, corroborated her account at a press conference Friday.
“He viciously attacked me, punched me in my face and Judge Peterson was the only one to help me,” she said.
