A confrontation over a parking space at a Macon restaurant escalated into an all-out brawl that ended in the arrest of a 71-year-old woman, according to a Bibb County sheriff deputy’s report.
Cellphone footage of the incident Saturday night shows a scene of people lunging and slapping each other inside the Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen.
Before deputies arrested Judy James Tucker, she told them that the incident “started over a parking spot” and it was “because she was white and it was a race issue,” the deputy’s write-up said.

WOW your lucky your not in the US the old lady would have been arrested for defending herself ! OH WAIT !
“I thought it said a 71 year old pregnant woman”
You’re in great company - that’s what I saw as well.
She beat on a 71 year old woman someone by all rights she's supposed to be protecting and your appalled at the old lady ? with values like that who needs to eat there ?
Especially if the US Army CPT insignia on her uniform is real!!
Macon did not seem very friendly to me.
Captain Mitchell looked like she was keeping her head and trying to calm down the angry old woman. But Sharpe was on a short fuse too. They both should have made a quick exit at the first sign of trouble. You stand your ground against the enemy, not a civilian.
“[Tucker] will not be teaching at Mercer in the future“
Deserved or not, it’s yet another warning to watch how we behave in public. Cellphones can take away entire careers in a few seconds.
“The one soldier in particular that physically engaged and remained in body contact with the elderly civilian should be disciplined. IN uniform, you will immediately remove yourself post haste and walk away from any confrontations with civilians. Period.”
Or, she did not want herself and her unborn child to be victims of the Knockout Game.
YES. Her commission should be in jeopardy at this very moment. Conduct unbecoming.
You cant act like you just escaped from the zoo when you are in uniform.
“Cheese it man,its the fuzz”,also “Lets beat feet cherry tops!” would be acceptable.
What if they're Macon bacon?
being preggers just compounds the original problem of lack of self-control under Flag. She definitely shouldn’t be physically engaging anyone, especially a senior citizen, who, sorry, is frailer.
When IN uniform, you are government-issue, one-each, representing your unit, your wing and your commander, and you will NOT violate Article 128 of the UCMJ. You WILL remove yourself from any conflict (yes, even if it means eating somewhere else) and, you will report that conflict to your commander (immediately upon return to your unit).
If a soldier cannot control their own reactions stateside, how do you think they’re going to handle civilians taunting them and throwing rocks and bottles and calling names at them in theatre? The soldier engaged in unauthorized physical contact with a civilian. End of story.
Macon is one the worst, most dangerous places in GA. This is basically just a Saturday there.
