Video shows the North Carolina Court of Appeals judge's SUV fully on the sidewalk after he veered the vehicle towards a small group of BLM protestors there. Protestors describe narrowly evading being struck by the truck.

Other video of the protest shows the judge driving down the shoulder of a roundabout where protestors were standing nearby. The judge made at least two laps of the area before driving his car over the curb onto the sidewalk and into the crowd, narrowly missing pedestrians. He made a false 911 call about people standing in the street then fled the scene.

Witnesses also told the Observer that the SUV believed to have been driven by Tyson had made at least one complete loop around the Market Place roundabout and only veered towards protesters on the second lap around.

On patrol in your SUV trying to kill protestors, just normal judge stuff.

Judge John M. Tyson of Cumberland County has been summoned to appear in a courtroom in his own county next month where he will need to answer to a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, the Fayetteville Observer reported.
