Two police officers in Georgia chose to resign last month instead of being terminated following their arrests last month for allegedly selling accident reports to third parties for profit.
Nikko McClinton and Ronald Anderson, both nine-year veterans of the DeKalb County Police Department, were arrested Jan. 30 after authorities learned they were selling crash reports, agency spokeswoman Michaela Vincent told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Both men were charged with computer theft and violating their oath of office, Vincent said in a previous news release. McClinton also faces one count of bribery. jail records show.
The criminal investigation was launched after another DeKalb police officer learned of the alleged scheme and alerted investigators, authorities said. Both men were placed on administrative leave with pay until their resignations, which the department announced Feb. 14 on Twitter.
“The DeKalb County Police Department will not tolerate officer misconduct and will take proper action to safeguard the privacy of our citizens and enforce the law,” DeKalb County Police Chief Mirtha Ramos said in a statement.
