A Georgia senator was arrested Thursday morning after he tried to enter the House chambers during Gov. Brian Kemp’s State of the State address.
Colton Moore was banned from the House floor last year by Speaker John Burns after he called the late Speaker David Ralston “one of the most corrupt Georgia leaders that we are ever going to see in my lifetime.” His comments came as the House debated whether to name a building at the University of North Georgia in Ralston’s honor.
After a scuffle with state troopers at the entrance to the chamber, Moore was handcuffed and taken to the Fulton County Jail.
