The shocking video shows the altercation between Judy Tucker and two soldiers at a Cheddar's restaurant in Macon, Georgia, on Saturday night.

The witness who posted the video of the incident, LaKeycia Ward, said that the dispute began when Tucker and her son, Robbie, became enraged that two soldiers drove around their car as Tucker and her family were attempting to park in a handicapped spot. Tucker's husband is allegedly handicapped but was not captured in any of the video footage.

Additional footage captured outside the restaurant shows Tucker crying while being arrested as Robbie and her daughter, Angie, stood by her side. It is unclear where Angie was during the altercation inside the restaurant as she does not appear in the video footage.

Tucker was arrested on simple battery charges and booked in Bibb County Jail. She was eventually released on a $650 bond.

"We were appalled by the behavior of the individuals who confronted the two female service members. Such behavior flies in the face of our values and those individuals are no longer welcome in our restaurant," Cheddar's corporate office wrote in a recent statement to WMAZ.

Tucker's art restoration Facebook business page has been flooded with comments by people appalled with her behavior following the incident.

"How dare you abuse and harass our soldiers in uniform!!! Especially a pregnant one. You and your son have absolutely no class and should be utterly ashamed of yourselves," one Facebook user wrote.

"Thank you for showing your hate. I'm sure you will lose customers for this and your business will soon close… I'm glad you were arrested for being disrespectful and also being a racist to the people who serve and provide protection for this country," another user added.
