Georgia Sheriff Arrested: grabbed breast of prominent TV judge Hatchett in public

[Demovictory9]

According to WSB, the incident was witnessed by others at the event, including Thomas Brown, the former sheriff of DeKalb County.

WSB identified Hatchett as the victim because she wanted her story told.

The Bleckley Sheriff's Office issued a statement which read, in part, "It would be improper for Sheriff Coody to contact the other party at this time, but he looks forward to personally expressing his regrets for any offense at the appropriate opportunity."

Brown said that remembering that day brings back many unsettling feelings.

Brown said that Hatchett was his guest at the conference, and that Coody groped Hatchett as he was introducing her to sheriffs at the Renaissance Atlanta Waverly Bar.

Brown said three sheriffs came to the standup table, including Coody and the president of the Georgia Sheriff’s Association. Brown said he turned his head away from Coody and Hatchett as they were talking.

“As I turned to my left to focus back on the two of them, I saw his hand go down on her left breast,” Brown said. “I grabbed his arm threw it off of her chest and basically said, ‘What are you (adjective) think you’re doing?’ and that’s basically where it ended.”

Brown said he was so angry that his first reaction was to do more than take his hand off of her.

“She was there as my guest, so I was obviously upset,” Brown said. “Obviously mad. He was obviously intoxicated.”

Brown said Hatchett told him the incident shocked her.

“After that, she had a rough time of it,” Brown said.

1. What is it with these guys?!

Mehdi Hasan on MSNBC tonight was reporting on how many rethuglican politicians are tied up in sexual harassment/assault cases--like 16% of them. They ain't nothin' but hound dogs!
