DeKalb police captain fired
A DeKalb County police captain who allegedly had stolen goods at her home is out of a job.
Suzanne Kaulbach's employment has been terminated by the department, DeKalb police spokeswoman Mekka Parish said in a statement Friday.
Kaulbach was arrested by Clayton County authorities July 16 for allegedly having stolen property at her home, including a boat, two ATVs and a dirt bike, Channel 2 Action News reported. She was charged with theft by receiving stolen property.
She testified during a warrant application hearing that she didn't know the items were stolen. Investigators believe her partner's son and two other teenagers were responsible for the thefts, Channel 2 said.
Following the arrest, "an internal affairs investigation deemed Kaulbach violated departmental policies of Conduct Unbecoming and Violation of Law," Parish said.
