VALDOSTA, Ga. —
A doctor in Georgia has been accused of threatening to slit the throats of her employees and patients, damaging a wall with a reflex hammer and throwing water on employees.
Lowndes County Sheriff Ashley Paulk told news outlets that Dr. Marian Antoinette Patterson was charged with three counts of terroristic threats and one count of false imprisonment. He said she has been released from jail on bond after turning herself in Thursday.
A license suspension order from the Georgia Composite Medical Board said the family doctor in Valdosta yelled at employees in her office and repeatedly threatened them on Feb. 21. The order said Patterson appeared to be “under the influence” at the practice on several occasions.
The board suspended Patterson’s license on March 5.
It is unclear if Patterson has a lawyer.
