ROCKDALE COUNTY, Ga. — Authorities arrested a Rockdale County deputy Friday on charges of sexual battery.
According to the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office, deputy Dedra Hall was arrested after a complaint was filed with the Rockdale County Human Resources Department April 12.
The sheriff's office launched an internal affairs investigation, which is still underway, and placed Hall on administrative leave. The sheriff's office did not elaborate further about the specific incident that happened.
"It is unfortunate this incident has presented itself, however, I expect RCSO employees to work diligently to maintain and present a professional image, both on duty and off duty," Sheriff Eric J. Levett said in a statement.
This is not the first case this week in which sheriff's deputies have gotten into hot water. On Monday, two Spalding County deputies were fired after allegations surfaced that the pair had used racist language and expresses Nazi sympathies online.
