DC Deputy Mayor Chris Geldart has been charged with assault after attacking a Gold’s Gym employee in the parking lot after they had an altercation inside. According to reports, Geldart grabbed a personal trainer, Dustin Woodward by the neck. Woodward says that Gold’s gym employees at different sites have had problems with Geldhart and they have been well aware of the problems. He said that Geldart has abused his power multiple times.
DC mayor Muriel Bowser said that Geldart is on leave while the matter is being investigated. This means if the investigation finds that Woodward is a registered Republican, he will be off to the DC gulag.

Chris Geldart, the DC Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice has been charged with assault and battery after a parking lot altercation at a Gold’s Gym in Arlington.

VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELDustin told FOX 5’s Sierra Fox that it could have ended a lot worse.
“It’s … little frustrations, right? Because he’s way too big to be trying to be a bully especially with his position. Something should be done. It’s not okay. We’ve been dealing with him a while at Gold’s. Multiple locations actually that’s how we even figured out who he was so something needs to be done because you can’t just abuse your power like that. That’s pretty frustrating on my end.”
“In the video, DC’s deputy mayor is on the right (in tank top & shorts), Dustin on the left (in long-sleeve and workout pants) – and according to Arlington Police, an argument stemmed from Chris allegedly opening up his car door and hitting the parked car of Dustin’s girlfriend. The dispute escalated to the point where Dustin says Chris was cursing and screaming, which caused him to turn around and tell Dustin to “shut up.” This is when Chris got in Dustin’s face in a confrontational style. Later in the video, the two men are chest-to-chest and Dustin says Chris put his hands on his throat before he was able to push him away.”
