Slow Saturday Special: Alabama Man

He's quick, he's strong, he's active!

"Judge accused of hitting wife enters court program" Associated Press   September 06, 2014

ATLANTA — A federal judge from Alabama accused of hitting his wife in an Atlanta hotel room may have a misdemeanor battery charge dismissed if he completes a court program that includes domestic violence intervention.

US District Court Judge Mark Fuller, 55, will spend up to 24 weeks in the pretrial diversion program, which also includes an alcohol and substance abuse assessment. Fulton County State Court Chief Magistrate Judge Stephanie Davis on Friday allowed Fuller to enter the program and ordered him to report back to the court on Oct. 14.

Officers were called to the Fullers’ room in August at the Ritz Carlton in Atlanta, where a police report said Kelli Fuller answered the door in tears and with cuts on her mouth and forehead. She was treated by paramedics but refused to be taken to the hospital.

She told police her husband became violent when she accused him of cheating, pulling her hair, throwing her to the ground, and kicking her. Mark Fuller told officers he threw her to the ground to defend himself after she threw a drink glass at him.
