“The public expects and deserves integrity from every member of this agency,” said Sheriff Melody Maddox. “The misuse of law enforcement technology or confidential information for any unauthorized purpose is a serious breach of the public’s trust and will not be tolerated. When misconduct is identified, we act swiftly, hold those responsible accountable, and remain committed to the highest ethical standards.”
He is being held in the DeKalb County Jail without bond on charges of violation of oath of office and misuse of license plate data.
