DAWSONVILLE, Ga. — The Nydia Tisdale trial scheduled for today (Aug. 7) has been continued due to a conflict with the court calendar.
Tisdale is the self-described citizen journalist who was arrested at a political rally at Burt’s Pumpkin Farm in August 2014. She was charged with felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer.
The arresting officer Captain Tony Wooten, then of the Dawson County Sheriff’s Office, said Tisdale refused several requests by the property owner to stop filming the event and when he attempted to remove her, she kicked him in the shin and elbowed him in the face.
Tisdale claimed she had the owner’s permission to be there and to film the event. She further claims that Wooten did not identify himself and she didn’t know who he was when he attempted to forcibly remove her from the premises.
Attorney Jeff Talley will prosecute the case for the state and Bruce Harvey is defense counsel.
A new trial date has not bee set at this time.
