Two community activists say protesters near the Market House were nearly struck Friday by an SUV driven by a state Court of Appeals judge.
A Fayetteville Police Department spokesman said detectives are investigating whether a vehicle almost hit a pedestrian, but would not confirm that the incident involved Judge John M. Tyson, who serves on the Court of Appeals.
Mario Benavente, who was one of the protesters, said he saw two other protesters nearly get hit. He said he recognized the driver of the vehicle as Tyson.
Myah Warren, who also was protesting, said she and another protester had to jump out of the way to avoid being struck. She initially said the vehicle was driven by a judge and later identified the judge as Tyson.
