The Fayetteville Observer: “A criminal court summons was issued Friday for a state Appeals Court judge after a Fayetteville woman swore before a Cumberland County magistrate that he nearly hit her with his SUV.
Once served, the summons orders Judge John M. Tyson to appear in a Cumberland County courtroom next month to answer to a charge of assault with a deadly weapon. Myah Warren has said she was almost struck by the vehicle driven by Tyson while she was protesting near the Market House on May 7.

When asked about the allegation earlier this week, Tyson declined to comment, saying only that he wanted to rely on the 911 calls.
An emergency dispatcher received a call regarding “reckless activity” as the protest was happening, according to a Fayetteville Police Department document. The caller said protesters were in the roadway, it said.”
