Newton County woman charged with threatening judge
By The Associated Press
A woman was arrested after authorities say she threatened a juvenile court judge in front of three sheriff's deputies.
During the incident, Olukemi Olunloyo also said Fulton County Judge Rowland Barnes, who was killed in the Atlanta courthouse shootings earlier this month, "got what he deserved," a deputy said.
Deputies were called to Olunloyo's home Wednesday afternoon to settle a domestic dispute between her and her 18-year-old son.
After deputies calmed her son and started to leave, without making an arrest, Olunloyo, who is a licensed pharmacist, started talking about an upcoming Newton County Juvenile Court hearing she had with Assistant Judge Amy Baig, concerning her younger son.
"Judge Baig is a powder-puff judge," Olunloyo said, according to Deputy Wade Freeman's incident report. "My baby was held by the judge for three months because they could not get the medical records from Baltimore. I'm a pharmacist and I've seen her pharmacy records ... If she messes me up today then I'll mess her up."
Freeman warned her to watch what she said in front of a law enforcer.
But once deputies were outside in the front yard, Olunloyo allegedly came to the front door and said "I hate the system. I think Judge Rowland in Atlanta got what he deserved."
When deputies left, the woman then reportedly called a sheriff's dispatcher to complain about Freeman and said that as a pharmacist, she knew what drugs all the judges in the county were taking, Freeman reported.
Olunloyo has been charged with intimidation of a court officer, Newton County Sheriff's Office Investigator Marty Roberts said.
