Washington, D.C.’s deputy mayor for "public safety and justice" was charged in connection to a caught-on-camera alleged assault in the parking lot of a gym he belongs to in nearby Arlington, Virginia.
Christopher Geldart, 53, has been charged with assault after allegedly grabbing the neck of Dustin Woodward, a trainer at the Gold’s Gym, during an altercation in the parking lot on Oct. 1.
According to Arlington Police, an argument ensued after Geldart allegedly opened his car door, hitting the parked car of Woodward’s girlfriend. Geldart, appointed by Bowser to serve as Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice on January 28, 2021, has been placed on leave pending an investigation.
When FOX 5 DC reporter Sierra Fox attempted to show the video of the incident to Bowser on camera, the D.C. mayor balked.

Here’s hoping the people of DC will kick her to the curb at some point.
Ah yes—more transparency and openness in government!
He’s got b@lls, trying to choke out a Gold’s Gym trainer, LOL!
Quick question...WTH is a “ caught-on-camera alleged assault”?
If it was recorded on camera, it’s not alleged, it happened.
Weasel words have become today’s journalism.
Video - parked in handicap spot.
Nobody with kindergarten maturity cares. I’ve seen 7 y/o’s have tougher fights than this and they didn’t cry to anyone. WHO CARES?
Longtime Bowser Deputy Chris Geldart Allegedly Grabbed a Man ‘By the Throat’ in an Arlington Scuffle

DC would just queue up the next racist, worthless bum
Only to be replaced by another moron like her or the Mayor of New Orleans.
I’m betting that the rank and file of the DC Metro Police can’t stand this woman or this guy and happily and enthusiastically took out that warrant.
I am curious to know, though, how a person could be the Deputy Mayor of a major metropolitan city and not live in that city. I can understand staff and some low level folks not living in DC proper, but a Deputy Mayor. Doesn’t say much for his faith in the city or its services.
The trainer parked in a handicapped parking space...
She barely earns a dishonorable mention..compared to past mayor’s/politicians.
No impulse control.
“If it was recorded on camera, it’s not alleged...”
It still is in the terms of the courts until it is verified true by the courts.
An example of doctoring tapes is the instance when ABC doctored tapes of George Zimmerman getting out of the police car at the station coming from the hospital where he was treated for head injuries given him by Trayvon Martin. All the bandages were colored over and it appeared he was clean. That was a lie and ABC should have been prosecuted.
Jorge Rodriguez, Zimmerman’s next-door neighbor, told Reuters that when he saw Zimmerman the day after the incident, “he had two big, butterfly bandages on the back of his head, and another big bandage...on the bridge of his nose.” He was talking to a police detective in his driveway.
Rodriguez’s wife Audria also said she saw the bandages and a third neighbor, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, agreed with the Rodriguez couple’s account. “I saw two bandages on the back of his head, and his nose was all swollen up,” said the witness, who had watched from a nearby second-floor window.
Zimmerman claims that Martin initiated their physical confrontation, breaking his nose and pounding his head into pavement. Police reports said that Zimmerman was treated by Sanford, Florida Fire Department before being taken to the police station.
Strange how all the evidence is right out in the open but is not evident. That’s what you get with perceived video.

Roid rage. Ste or hemor - you pick.
Are there no good gyms in DC...or does this guy live in Virginia?
He lives in Falls Church
Excellent job of clarification...I stand corrected! Can’t trust anything, or anybody, with the trickery of modern tech available.
Thanks for the kudo. Anyone today with their information they are given can be easily swayed with what is needed for the sellers’ agenda. Besides their hard sell sweeping their paint brush work on the video, ABC, the media also caught NBC doctoring the 911 call.
The old adage believe none of what you hear, at best, and only half of what you see is pertinent in today’s political information pass. It starts to cross into malice and that is impossible to prove when they lie like a rug to gain agenda. It isn’t provable as malice because it can’t be proven intentional if it is lied about. Here comes the fifth.
