Report: Commissioner Watson Apologizes for Incident at Bar

DeKalb Super District 7 Commissioner Stan Watson has apologized for a July 12 incident at a Glenwood Road bar, an article on AJC.com said, quoting Watson and citing information from a police report.

According to the AJC Watson reportedly was intoxicated and got upset with a woman who he claims stole his wallet.

Watson told the news outlet that he went to the bar because he was upset about the recent death of his sister. A DeKalb officer was working security at the bar at the time and wrote the incident report, the AJC said.

Watson allegedly directed comments, with profanity, to a couple of women in regards to his wallet, the AJC said, using information from the police report. According to the AJC, Watson said did not see them take it.

The commissioner, whose district includes unincorporated Stone Mountain areas, said he did not drive home himself, the AJC reported. He also said he apologized to his constituents and planned to apologize to the officer, according to the article.
