A motion to quash a subpoena served to Gov. Nathan Deal by the defense team for citizen journalist and Roswell resident Nydia Tisdale was denied by Senior Superior Court Judge Martha Christian mid-trial Wednesday night. Tisdale is being tried on a felony obstruction charge for resisting arrest by then-Dawson County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Tony Wooten, who forcibly removed her from a 2014 political rally at Burt’s Pumpkin Farm in Dawsonville.
