A Catoosa County judge, who is being accused by a state agency of using drugs and threatening co-workers, says he will fight the charges.
“I’m not stepping down,” said Magistrate Anthony Peters. “I’m going to fight it to the fullest because I’ve done nothing wrong.”
According to court documents, the Georgia Judicial Qualifications Commission is accusing Peters of using marijuana for several months, manipulating his position for family members and pointing a gun at himself and threatening another judge by saying, “I’m not scared. Are you?”
The formal charges that accuse Peters of 13 violations of the judicial code of conduct Tuesday were filed in the Georgia Supreme Court.
