ATLANTA, Georgia -- A federal judge based in Montgomery that presides over the Middle District of Alabama faces assault charges after Atlanta police say he assaulted his wife, according to WSBTV.



The report says the woman called police around 11 p.m. from the Ritz Carlton on Peachtree Street. Officers said she was visibly injured and treated on the scene.



Mark Fuller, 55, is charged with battery. He is being held at the Fulton County Jail without bond.

In 2006, Fuller presided over the trial of former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman and HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy. He was appointed by President George W. Bush in 2002.
