Footage has emerged showing the moment a newly nixed probate court judge punched a local police officer following a boozy brawl, according to police. Christina Peterson, 38, was already under investigation for alleged misconduct in Douglas County, where she had worked for years. She will leave office at the end of the year, or until she is ordered to leave the position by a governing authority. She’s since been placed under arrest due to the footage, and for allegedly punching the police officer working security at the Red Martini Restaurant early Thursday. Cops say she had been engaged in a night of drinking, despite the charges levelled against her. Peterson, 38, was removed from office on Tuesday, following an investigation into separate ethics charges. The Georgia Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that 12 out of 30 cases brought against Peterson, a two-term Democrat, warranted discipline and ruled that she be removed from the bench effective immediately. She is now also not eligible to be elected or appointed to any future judicial positions in the entire state for seven years, Fox News reports. The decision comes on the heels of Judicial Qualifications Commission ruling, which found her guilty of ‘systemic incompetence’ in April and recommended her removal. #ChristinaPeterson #Dailymailcrime #crime
