    GBI: Judge arrested for threatening man who confronted him about taking vegetables from his garden

    Chief Magistrate Judge Eddie Anderson, 70, was charged Monday with felony counts of making a terrorist threat and violating his oath of office

    Jul 27, 2022

    TATTNALL COUNTY, Ga. —
    A Georgia judge has been arrested on charges that he threatened a man who confronted the jurist about taking vegetables from his garden.

    Tattnall County Chief Magistrate Judge Eddie Anderson, 70, was charged Monday with felony counts of making a terrorist threat and violating his oath of office, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said in a news release. He was booked at the county jail and released on his own recognizance.

    The GBI said a man reported to the county sheriff that he believed the judge had come onto his property and taken vegetables without permission. The man told authorities Anderson threatened him with violence when confronted during a phone call.

    Witnesses overheard the judge making the threat, the GBI said.

    Anderson did not immediately respond to a phone message left at his office or an email seeking comment Tuesday.

    Whether Anderson remains on the bench pending resolution of the charges ultimately depends on the Georgia Supreme Court. An investigative panel of the state Judicial Qualifications Commission, which investigates judicial misconduct, has the authority to ask the high court to suspend him.

    Records show the state Supreme Court reprimanded Anderson in 2019 for non-criminal misconduct after the judge was accused of calling an auto dealer and demanding that he return a woman’s car that had been repossessed for lack of payments.

    When the dealer refused, the judge advised the woman to file a case in his court, according to the complaint against the judge.

    Hey its the judge, whats a few maters and cukes to have a friend on the bench should you ever need a hand. That is how it works.

    Notice i didn't say corn so as not to start trouble, but he could have some silver queen as well.

    If you were a politician you would give your other neighbor's produce away to the judge to gain a favor on the bench.
