Georgia State Representative Park Cannon was arrested on DUI charges after hitting a bicyclist. The incident occurred on Thursday night in Atlanta. Cannon allegedly struck the cyclist and then fled the scene.
The Atlanta Police Department responded to reports of a hit-and-run and found Cannon at the scene. She was arrested and charged with DUI. Cannon reportedly refused a field sobriety test, but police obtained a search warrant for a blood sample.
The bicyclist suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene. Cannon has since been released from jail on bond.
This incident is the latest in a series of controversies involving Cannon. She made headlines earlier this year when she was arrested for knocking on Governor Brian Kemp’s door as he signed a controversial voting bill. Cannon was charged with a felony for interrupting the signing ceremony.
Cannon has been a vocal advocate for voting rights and criminal justice reform in Georgia. She is known for her passionate activism and has gained a reputation as a fierce advocate for social justice issues.
The arrest has sparked a heated debate on social media, with some supporting Cannon and others criticizing her actions. The Georgia State Representative has not yet issued a statement on the incident.
The Atlanta Police Department is continuing to investigate the incident and will determine if further charges will be filed against Cannon. The bicyclist involved in the crash is expected to make a full recovery.
