Andrae Wright, 44, of Statesboro, was arrested Monday and charged with misuse of a license plate reader system, stalking, computer invasion of privacy, and violation of oath of office. At the time of the allegations, Wright was an investigator with the Ogeechee Circuit District Attorney’s Office.
The arrest comes after the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to investigate allegations of improper use of the Flock Safety System.
The Effingham County Sheriff’s Office said an internal audit revealed Wright, a former employee, still had access to their system.
Officials said Wright accessed the Flock Safety System more than 60 times. These accesses occurred between June 15 and July 5 of this year for purposes not related to law enforcement.
Wright was booked into the Bulloch County Jail.
