Georgia Senator Colton Moore arrested outside State Capitol before Governor's address
Georgia Senator Colton Moore was arrested on January 16, 2025, outside the State Capitol after a confrontation with a House doorkeeper. This incident occurred just before Governor Brian Kemp's State of the State address. Moore had been banned from the House floor due to previous controversial remarks about the late House Speaker David Ralston. His comments led to criticism and an apology from fellow senators. The arrest adds to ongoing tensions between Moore and his Republican colleagues, particularly regarding his calls for a special session related to the indictment of former President Donald Trump.
