A Catoosa County magistrate is in police custody, after refusing to leave the courthouse.

It happened right around 3:00 p.m. Wednesday afternoon.

Catoosa County Magistrate Judge Anthony Peters barricaded himself inside his office, and refused to come out.

We’re told that’s when sheriff’s deputies were called out.

After about a 10-minute standoff Peters was taken out in handcuffs.
