Police released a video showing a judge being arrested after she hit an officer. An officer in Atlanta was on duty outside a nightclub when he heard a disturbance around 3:18 a.m. He went to check it out, according to the video from the Atlanta Police Department.

When the officers arrived, they saw a group of people arguing physically, and the club’s security was trying to separate them. The police stepped in to calm things down.

Then, a woman rushed at the officer while he was trying to calm the situation and hit him. The officer put handcuffs on her and moved away from the growing crowd.

After putting her in the police car, officers asked for her name and details, but she refused to give them.

“I’m famous, you can find me anywhere in America,” she said, still not giving her name.

Later, she was identified as 38-year-old Christina Peterson, a judge in Douglas County.

Peterson was charged with Simple Battery Against a Police Officer and Felony Obstruction of Law Enforcement Officers.
