Big Tigger walked from a domestic violence case after prosecutors decided not to move forward with the charges, and the Atlanta radio personality made sure everyone knew how rare that decision actually is.
The Fulton County District Attorney’s office issued a public declination statement, which Big Tigger emphasized doesn’t happen often in these types of situations. He released a video explaining that most DA offices keep their decisions private, but this one came with a full public explanation of why they declined to prosecute. The whole situation started back in May when Sandy Springs police investigated an alleged domestic dispute at Big Tigger’s home involving his estranged wife, Alicia Brown.
According to police records, Brown told investigators that an argument over his cellphone escalated into a physical confrontation where she claimed Big Tigger pushed her into an office door, causing a facial injury that needed medical treatment. Their teenage son was inside the house during the altercation and heard what happened. Big Tigger denied the allegations from the start.
In June, Sandy Springs police arrested Big Tigger on aggravated battery, battery, and third-degree cruelty to children charges. He was booked into the Fulton County Jail but released after posting bond.
A judge then granted Brown a temporary protective order requiring Big Tigger to stay at least 200 yards away from her and their children, and she got temporary custody of the kids and exclusive use of their family home.
