A judge declined Georgia state Senator Colton Moore’s request for an arrest warrant against House staffer Keith Williams after a confrontation earlier this year. The scuffle between Moore and Williams occurred outside the House chamber in January. Moore had been barred from House property and defied that ban by attempting to attend a joint session of the Georgia General Assembly. Fulton County Magistrate Judge Robert Wolf stated there was not enough evidence to support criminal charges. Williams’ attorney, Phil Holloway, welcomed the ruling, noting that the incident, while unfortunate, did not rise to criminal levels. Catherine Bernard, Moore’s lawyer, disagreed and believes the evidence met the probable cause standard, stating they plan to appeal the judge’s decision to Fulton County Superior Court. The conflict between Moore and Georgia House leaders stemmed from Moore’s comments made at a memorial service for former Georgia Speaker David Ralston last year.  Since the arrest of Senator Moore, the Georgia House has agreed that Moore can attend joint sessions of the legislature.
