Lawd knows I loves me some Peter Thomas (who I saw recently during ATL Live on the Park), so imagine my surprise yesterday when my good twitter friend Bravolebrity1 clued me in on Peter’s recent legal issues.
Apparently Peter was in an Atlanta court earlier this week addressing charges that he assaulted a female employee of his now defunct Uptown Nightclub.
A quick search revealed two mugshots for the chocolate Casanova aka Real Atlanta Housewife Cynthia Bailey’s Hubby. 
The first was from an April 2008 arrest in which Peter was arrested for Simple Battery. He was released the same day after posting $1,000 bond and charges were later dropped in that case.
The second mugshot was from the incident on December 3, 2009 when he was arrested in Atlanta for Simple Battery and Battery with visible harm. Peter was released the same day of the arrest after posting $2,000 bond and appeared in court this week (Monday, June 20, 2011) to face his accuser and former employee.
Peter was originally facing up to a year in prison if convicted but he has confirmed that he was found NOT GUILTY of all charges.
Peter’s explanation below:
Peter says his accuser was a former employee of Uptown who was “acting up in his restaurant and throwing plates”.
After asking her to leave, Peter says he returned about 30 minutes later and was accused of pushing her. Peter said she slipped.
Police were called to the scene and the woman accused Peter of assaulting her. Peter was arrested, charged with Simple Battery, and spent 17 hours in jail prior to posting bail.
During Monday’s court hearing, several former employee testified on Peter’s behalf and backed up his story, prompting the judge to decide in his favor and find him Not Guilty.
The End….

I’m so glad that Peter won his case, most people would have made a deal to have the case go away since he had charges filed against him before for the same charges.. Go Peter!!
Peace!
I read an article in Sista to sista mag, where Peter claimed to have been there the first time TUPAC was shot. Peter claims Tupac shot himself! is there any truth to this???!!!
WHY IS THIS OLD DUDE BEATING UP ON WOMEN…..
Cuz Thats What Ole Men Do, When They Can No Longer Beat It up From The Waist Down….LOL
Something in the story doesn’t sound right. Why charge him with battery if there are witnesses who dispute the events in question? Methinks someone paid off some witnesses.
Lol at Lex
@Lex, LMAO!
He’s got a temper. I bet he is gonna swing on Cynthia one day.
@EHOM: Why Cuz He A Yardie?
Another day more drama with the TwoHousewives of Altanta
[...] husband Peter Thomas was arrested for battery and could face a year in prison. Well a good friend of mines got the scoop and he found that Peter will not be doing a year because he was found not [...]
Guilty or not,still don’t like dude.He fired off on too many women on camera and off.Even Cynthia let him sit in jail 17 hours so she could get away from him (and move her new modeling money to another account).He’s a bad news bear!
If he beats on female employees, uhh… what will stop him from going upside his new wife’s head.He looks like he can put a whupping on some ranmdom woman(Cynthia you better watch out,gurl).Issues, yeah!
*random
Tiffany, Did he say Tupac shot himself six times?I know he couldn’t have shot himself all those many times and how does Peter know about that shooting, is he from NewYork, also?Did he run with Jimmy Rosemond?Cynthia, you better be careful.
Where was Cynthia when Peter was getting arrested and locked up in the pokie for 17 hours? Did she know about his prior arrest? How come Phaedra didn’t help him out, don’t she got connections with the popo and DA’s office?
This story got more holes than the Chocolate City skrip club.
He is the "Older Version" of "Chris Brown" how sad, poor Cynthia, should of worked something/anything out with LEON. Of course LEON is somewhere laughing at this clown, old fool, in "Madea Voice" IKE TURNER go somewhere and sat down!!
LEON wasn’t gonna work cuz that nigga GGGAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!!
