An Atlanta city councilwoman is defending her actions after she allegedly got into a fight with a security guard at Atlanta’s Oakland Cemetery.
Councilwoman Liliana Bakhtiari said she was at the cemetery last Friday for a surprise sunset wedding engagement, with the approval of the Historic Oakland Foundation.
In a statement that she released on social media, Bakhtiari said that a security guard approached her and her friends and asked them to leave. She said as they were packing up their bags, another man approached them with no flashlight and began “shouting obscenities at the top of his voice.”
According to a police report obtained by Channel 2 Action News, the women became combative with him.
