Reporter Has Soda Dumped on Her Head at County Commission Meeting
/The wife of Chattooga County's (GA) sole commissioner walked up and poured soda on the head of a Reporter.
It was supposed to be a county budget meeting, but before it could even begin, the county commissioner’s wife stormed in and dumped a soda on a Reporter’s head.
The shocking moment, captured partially on video, stunned the room into silence. Chattooga County Sole Commissioner Jason Winters’s jaw dropped. He uttered, “Oh, my God.” Another voice said: “There you go. I’m sick of it” — and Winters appeared to nod his head in agreement at his wife’s actions.
Meanwhile, the Reporter sat at the table drenched, saying nothing. “Oh, that’s classy!” a taxpayer attending the meeting yelled at Winters’s wife, Abbey Winters, according to footage of the budget meeting from AllOnGeorgia.com.
Abbey Winters has since been charged with simple battery and disorderly conduct in the bizarre soda attack on AllOnGeorgia reporter Casie Bryant, which witnesses told police appeared to be completely unprovoked.
An attorney for Abbey Winters, 35, did not immediately respond to a request for comment, nor did the commissioner. But according to the police report, Abbey Winters told Summerville, Ga., police that she had “accidentally” poured the drink on Bryant’s head “after stumbling/tripping near her.”
As the President continues to rail in the media and calls them the “enemy of the people” incidents like this will continue to happen.
