The wife of a local elected official in Georgia faces criminal charges after she reportedly dumped a drink on a reporter's head at a county meeting.
Officers then spoke to Bryant, who confirmed what witnesses had told them. Bryant told officers she didn't recall ever seeing Abbey Winters at public meetings before. Bryant told officers that"for a few minutes after the drink was poured on her she was just in shock and that she recalled someone stating that the drink looked good on her," the report says.
Based on statements from Bryant and witnesses, officers got warrants against Abbey Winters on charges of disorderly conduct and simple battery, both misdemeanors. Winters turned herself in around 4:30 p.m. Friday, according to the sheriff's office. Corbin did not immediately respond to phone and email messages Monday seeking comment on the charges.
AllOnGeorgia is a"hyper-local community-oriented news organization" that seeks"to bring smaller, rural communities relevant and important news that is otherwise not reported," according to its website. No one at the news outlet immediately responded Monday to phone and email requests for comment, but in a story about the incident on the website, AllOnGeorgia owner Delvis Dutton said that what happened at the budget meeting “was completely inappropriate and I'm disappointed to see not only the behavior of those involved, but the excuses made for the behavior after the fact.
